Comparative evaluation of antimicrobial, antibiofilm, antioxidant, antiviral, and antidiabetic activities of copper oxide nanoparticles biofabricated via Opuntia ficus indica.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The eco-friendly methods of synthesizing nanoparticles using plant extracts have garnered heightened attention. In recent years, copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs), have found utility in a variety of applications. This work reports the fabrication of CuO-NPs using watery extract of Opuntia ficus indica leaves as a stabilizing component. Different analyses were performed to characterize the produced CuO-NPs. The CuO-NPs produced were very stable, spherical, and about 65 nm in size. The antimicrobial potency of produced CuO-NPs was assessed against four Gram-positive and four Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, as well as uniـcellular fungi, revealing inhibition-zones ranging from 18 to 24 mm and a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) between 62.5 and 500 µg/mL. The DPPH was utilised to investigate the free-radical scavenging ability of CuO-NPs at various concentrations, revealing a notable antioxidant capacity with an IC
