1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundNowadays, it is needed to explore new routes to treat infectious bacterial pathogens due to prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Antimicrobial photothermal therapy (PTT), as a new strategy, eradicates pathogenic bacteria.

objectiveIn this study, the antimicrobial effects of a carbon nanoparticles-polypyrrole nanocomposite (C-PPy) upon laser irradiation were investigated to destroy the pathogenic gram-negative MATERIAL AND

methodsIn this experimental study, the bacterial cells were incubated with 50, 100 and 250 µg mL

resultsThe results showed that following C-PPy attachment to the bacteria surface, irradiation of near-infrared light resulted in a significant decrement in the bacterial cell viability due to photothermal lysis. Slightly increase in protein leakage and significantly increase intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were observed in the bacteria upon treating with C-PPy.

conclusionPhoto-ablation strategy is a new minimally invasive and inexpensive method without overdose risk manner for combat with bacteria.
