1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study presents a comprehensive comparative evaluation of the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using alcoholic leaf extracts from Chrysophyllum oliviforme and Chrysophyllum cainito, focusing on their phytochemical-mediated stabilization and broad-spectrum antiviral efficacy. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-TOF-MS) was employed for metabolomic fingerprinting, identifying a total of 86 bioactive metabolites. The profiling revealed that C. oliviforme possesses a significantly more robust chemical matrix, characterized by higher relative concentrations of potent antioxidant and antiviral markers, specifically chlorogenic acid (11.43%), quercetin (7.62%), and resveratrol (3.81%), compared to C. cainito. The biogenic ZnO NPs were synthesized via a sustainable bottom-up approach, where the identified polyphenolic constituents acted as both reducing and capping agents. Characterization using TEM and SEM imaging, XRD confirmed the formation of crystalline hexagonal structures. Notably, C. oliviforme-derived NPs demonstrated superior colloidal stability, evidenced by moderate absolute zeta potential, which correlates with the dense phenolic capping observed in the FTIR spectra. Biological screening against a panel of four diverse viruses, Herpes Simplex Virus type 2 (HSV-2), Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1), Avian Influenza (H5N1), and Human Adenovirus-40 (HAdV-40) revealed potent inhibitory activities. The C. oliviforme ZnO NPs exhibited the highest therapeutic potential, yielding selectivity indices (SI) of 5.17, 4.44, 8.02, and 4.09, respectively. The MD trajectories (RMSD, RMSF, and Rg) confirmed that these complexes remain stable and compact under physiological conditions. These findings underscore the superiority of C. oliviforme as a bio-template for synthesizing highly stable, multi-target antiviral nano-therapeutics.
