ZnO Nanorod/Ag NanoparticleFunctionalized Paper Substrate for Sensitive SERS Detection of Environmental Contaminants.
Article in ACS applied nano materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In this work, we functionalize Whatman no 1 paper (WP) substrates with zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO NRs) decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for detecting environmental contaminants. ZnO NRs were grown by hydrothermal synthesis assisted by microwave irradiation on WP substrate and subsequently decorated with AgNPs using the dewetting deposition method. WP substrates functionalized with ZnO NRs/AgNPs were used as a SERS platform for detecting rhodamine 6G (R6G) dye and the thiabendazole (TBZ) pesticide, widely used in modern agriculture for fungal disease protection in fruits and vegetables. Additionally, a mixture of TBZ and carbendazim (CBZ) was used to evaluate the selectivity of the substrates. WP substrates with ZnO NRs/AgNPs demonstrated superior SERS performance than those with only AgNPs. The set of substrates analyzed also demonstrated high reproducibility and stability for detecting environmental contaminants. The enhanced detection with ZnO NRs is attributed to their large surface area, facilitating target molecule adsorption and increasing interactions with incident light, thus improving sensitivity. For R6G, the enhancement factors (EF) obtained using AgNPs and ZnO NRs/AgNPs were 9.3 × 10
