Unexpected insights into antibacterial activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
Article in Nanoscale, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 92 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
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) are attractive as broad-spectrum antibiotics, however, their further engineering as antimicrobial agents and clinical translation is impeded by controversial data about their mechanism of activity. It is commonly reported that ZnO-NP's antimicrobial activity is associated with the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here we disprove this concept by comparing the antibacterial potency of ZnO-NPs and their capacity to generate ROS with hydrogen peroxide (H
