Evaluation of the Sterility of Press'n Seal Cling Film for Use in Rodent Surgery.
Article in Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science : JAALAS, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
level and improve surgical outcomes. Recently, some institutions have approved the use of Press'n Seal cling film (CF; Glad Products, Oakland, CA) as a practical, cost-effective alternative to sterile drapes for rodent surgeries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sterility of CF by using ATP and replicate organism detection and counting (RODAC) plates. We tested 10 boxes of CF at days 0, 14, and 28 after opening the box and compared the results with traditional packaged sterile drapes. Our data indicated that CF ATP bioluminescence remained at or below 10 relative light units for 28 d after opening the box. In addition, RODAC plates had no growth for 70% of CF boxes at day 0, 100% at day 14, and 90% at day 28. The mean growth for the positive plates was 0.024 cfu/cm² sampled after contacting locations on the front and back of the CF. The results of this study support the use of CF as an acceptable alternative to traditional sterile drapes during rodent aseptic surgery.
