Synthesis of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Reinforced with Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles via Solution Blending for Prosthetic Socket Material: Physicochemical and Antibacterial Studies.
Article in ACS omega, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This work synthesized recycled poly-(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with zinc oxide nanoparticles (1.0, 3.0, 5.0, and 7.0 wt %) via solution blending, aimed at transforming postconsumer plastic waste into high-value antibacterial materials for prosthetic socket applications. The PET/ZnO composites demonstrated homogeneous dispersion, improved mechanical hardness, and effective antibacterial activity, particularly at 7.0 wt % ZnO. Enhanced surface hydrophilicity and acceptable roughness were also observed. This approach improves prosthetic performance and promotes sustainable healthcare materials by utilizing plastic waste.
