Niallia Circulans mediated Bio-fabrication of ZnO nanoparticles: Synthesis, characterization, and multifunctional applications.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 current study addresses increasing global problems (agricultural sustainability, environmental contamination, and antimicrobial resistance) by means of sustainable and multifunctional biosynthesized Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs). The study utilized a cell-free supernatant of a novel endophytic bacterial strain (Niallia Circulans) to synthesize ZnO NPs. Biosynthesized NPs were evaluated by using various techniques of characterization. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was revealed by UV-Visible spectral peak for ZnO NPs at 355 nm. A X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed a crystallite size of 90.64 nm, while scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) demonstrated the predominance of hexagonal-structured zinc, carbon, and oxygen elements. The functional groups in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirm the presence of biomolecules. The evaluated multifunctional application of biosynthesized ZnO NPs exhibits an enhanced early seedling growth rate and increased seed germination (100% in 12 h) on cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) compared to the control groups. Also shows excellent antibacterial activity against test bacterial strains. Additionally, a high removal efficiency of 97.85% was achieved within 110 min for 10 ppm methylene blue dye solution at pH 9. This study highlights the endophytic bacteria-mediated successful synthesis of ZnO NPs, with potential multifunctional applications in agriculture, antimicrobial treatments, and environmental remediation.
