Enhancement in Ct-DNA binding affinity and antimicrobial activity of ZnO nanoparticles via Ag-doping.
Article in Discover nano, 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
Developing multifunctional nanomaterials with improved antibacterial properties and reliable biocompatibility is an essential issue in biomedical research to address the increasing concern of antibiotic resistance. Ag-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were synthesized using a green and eco-friendly route using hibiscus flower extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The nanoparticles were synthesized successfully and characterized through FT-IR, TEM, EDX, and UV-Vis analysis. The bactericidal action potential was tested against E. coli, S. aureus, B. subtilis, Lactobacillus, and C. albicans pathogens using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Ag-doped ZnO NPs were observed to have superior inhibition action against E. coli compared to pristine ZnO NPs. The interactions of ZnO and Ag-ZnO NPs towards calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) were examined spectroscopically using absorption and fluorescence studies. It was observed that Ag-doped ZnO NPs showed a greater interaction with ct-DNA than pristine ZnO NPs. Thus, we conclude that biosynthesized Ag-ZnO NPs are multifunctional nanomaterials with good antibacterial action, an improved ability to bind to DNA, and better biocompatibility for future biomedical applications.
