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
Research background: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesised using agricultural waste and green synthesis, a sustainable alternative to traditional synthesis techniques that require hazardous chemicals and extensive processing. The AgNPs were produced using spent coffee ( Experimental approach: The formation and stability of AgNPs were confirmed using various methods. UV-Vis spectroscopy showed surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peaks at 450 nm, indicating the formation of AgNPs, while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) identified functional groups responsible for the bio-reduction and stabilisation of the nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD) confirmed the crystalline, face-centred cubic structure. Zeta potential analysis showed a stable dispersion and particle size analysis showed a consistent size distribution. The antibacterial activity of AgNPs was evaluated by testing their effectiveness against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Results and conclusions: The AgNPs were synthesised using spent coffee grounds and rice husks, which are rich in biomolecules that serve as effective reducing and stabilising agents. FTIR analysis identified functional groups involved in the reduction and stabilisation of nanoparticles, while XRD confirmed their face-centred cubic (FCC) crystalline structure. Zeta potential measurements showed stable dispersions with particle sizes of AgNPs obtained using spent coffee grounds of approx. 187 nm and of AgNPs obtained using rice husks of 198 nm. The synthesised AgNPs also showed strong antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Novelty and scientific contribution: AgNPs were obtained by green synthesis using agricultural waste such as spent coffee grounds and rice husks as natural reducing and stabilising agents. This study highlights the innovative use of biomolecule-rich materials to generate stable AgNPs with strong antibacterial properties and provides a sustainable basis for further development of nanotechnological applications.
