Addition of Selenium to Silver Nanoparticles: An Approach to Enhance Their Antimicrobial and Biological Properties - Systematic Review.

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 aim was to address the question, "Can the addition of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) to silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) enhance their antimicrobial and biological properties?" This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines and was registered in the Open Science Framework (OSF). A comprehensive search was conducted in Scopus, PubMed, Embase, Lilacs, ScienceDirect, and the gray literature databases (Google Scholar and ProQuest) to identify in vitro studies evaluating the effect of SeNPs incorporation into AgNPs (Se-AgNPs) on antimicrobial activity and biological behavior. Se-AgNPs demonstrated enhanced antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungal strains. Additionally, they exhibited improved cell adhesion, viability, and proliferation, along with reduced cytotoxicity. Se-AgNPs showed a synergistic enhancement of antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity, with a potential reduction in cytotoxic effects. Nevertheless, the small number of studies limits the strength of the conclusions, underscoring the need for rigorous, standardized investigations to strengthen or refute these findings.
