The role of plasma, albumin, and fibronectin in Staphylococcus epidermidis adhesion to polystyrene surface.

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 influence of soluble and immobilized plasma, albumin, and fibronectin (Fn) on the adhesion of three Staphylococcus epidermidis strains to polystyrene was investigated. Both soluble and immobilized plasma and albumin cause to 7-fold reduction of the amounts of adhered cells, regardless of the strain used. The soluble Fn exhibited the adhesion for one strain and did not affect the bacterial sorption for remaining strains, whereas on Fn-coated polystyrene two of the three strains showed about 1.5-fold increase in the number of adsorbed bacteria. The plasma- and albumin-coated surfaces became much more hydrophilic as the contact angle changed from 78 ± 2° for control to 18 ± 2° for plasma and 21 ± 3° for albumin. The ligand-receptor specific interactions strains S. epidermidis with Fn-coated surfaces were proved by measuring the adhesion forces between cell surface and Fn-coated AFM tip. The surface roughness measured using AFM after the plasma and proteins immobilization was changed within 10 nm and not correlate with changes in bacterial adhesion.
