Article in Scientific reports, 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 sustainable synthesis of palladium–platinum bimetallic nanoparticles (Pd/Pt NPs) using agricultural waste offers an eco-friendly approach to develop functional textiles with enhanced antibacterial and colorfastness properties. In this study, saffron waste comprising petals (SP) and stamens (SS) was employed as a green reducing and stabilizing agent in a microwave-assisted phyto-synthesis method to deposit Pd/Pt NPs onto cotton fabrics. To optimize and accurately predict the color strength (K/S) of the treated textiles, an artificial neural network (ANN) coupled with a genetic algorithm (GA) was implemented, outperforming traditional response surface methodology (RSM) with a high correlation coefficient (R² = 0.99). Comprehensive characterization using dynamic light scattering (DLS), UV–Visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Field emission scanning electron microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (FESEM-EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the successful formation and uniform distribution of Pd/Pt NPs on cotton fibers. The treated fabrics exhibited superior antibacterial activity, achieving 99% inhibition against both Gram-positive S. aureus and Gram-negative E. coli, alongside excellent colorfastness to rubbing, washing, and light exposure. This work demonstrates the integration of green nanotechnology and machine learning for the fabrication of sustainable, smart antibacterial textiles, contributing to reduced environmental impact and advancing the development of next-generation functional fabrics.
