1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The present study demonstrates the eco-friendly green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using Passiflora foetida L., an ethnomedicinal plant traditionally employed by sacred grove-centric communities of Uttar and Dakshin Dinajpur, West Bengal, for treating enteric disorders. The biogenic synthesis involved zinc nitrate as a precursor and aqueous leaf extract as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FESEM, EDX, FTIR, DLS, and zeta potential analysis, confirming their crystalline nature, spherical morphology (~ 99.42 nm), and purity. The functional groups identified through FTIR suggested phytochemical-mediated stabilization. The nanoparticles exhibited potent antioxidant activity, particularly in DPPH and ABTS assays, demonstrating efficient radical scavenging with low IC
