Evaluating the Antibacterial Potential of Distinct Size Populations of Stabilized Zinc Nanoparticles.
Article in ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Engineered nanoparticles are precisely synthesized to exploit unique properties conferred by their small size and high surface area for environmental, biomedical, and agricultural applications. While these physical properties dictate functionality, they can also have various intended and unintended implications for biological systems. Both the particle size and shape influence cellular uptake. Because of zinc's antibacterial properties and role as a plant micronutrient, polyvinylpyrrolidone stabilized zinc nanoparticles (ZnNP) were selected for this study. Four synthesis methods were tested to produce distinct size populations of polymer-coated ZnNP, and all utilized water as the solvent to promote sustainable, green chemistry. The antibacterial activity of ZnNP was assessed in two agriculturally relevant bacteria strains:
