Prevention of Candida albicans biofilm formation by covalently bound dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate and polyethylenimine.
Article in Mycopathologia, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Candida albicans biofilms are a major cause of voice prosthesis deterioration in laryngectomized patients. The aim of this study was to produce a surface capable of inhibiting C. albicans biofilm formation. Dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate (DMAEMA) and polyethylenimine (PEI) moieties were covalently bound to the surface of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and subsequently quaternized. Physicochemical characterization of the grafted surfaces was carried out and their effect on C. albicans cell numbers was assessed using a modified Robbins device to grow the biofilms. Covalently bound quaternized polyDMAEMA (polyDMAEMAq) and PEI (PEIq) inhibited biofilm growth, with reductions up to 92%. Our approach may show promise for future application in medical devices such as catheters and prostheses.
