Inactivation of spores by nonthermal plasmas.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Bacterial and fungal spore contamination in different industries has a greater economic impact. Because of the remarkable resistance of spores to most physical and chemical microbicidal agents, their inactivation need special attention during sterilization processes. Heat and chemical sporicides are not always well suited for different sterilization/decontamination applications and carries inherent risks. In recent years, novel nonthermal agents including nonthermal plasmas are emerging as effective sporicides against a broad spectrum of bacterial and fungal spores. The present review discusses various aspects related to the inactivation of spores using nonthermal plasmas. Different types of both low pressure plasmas (e.g., capacitively coupled plasma and microwave plasma) and atmospheric pressure plasmas (e.g., dielectric barrier discharges, corona discharges, arc discharges, radio-frequency-driven plasma jet) have been successfully applied to destroy spores of economic significance. Plasma agents contributing to sporicidal activity and their mode of action in inactivation are discussed. In addition, information on factors that affect the sporicidal action of nonthermal plasmas is included.
