Antimicrobial Nanostructured Coatings: A Gas Phase Deposition and Magnetron Sputtering Perspective.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. 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
Antimicrobial coatings are a promising strategy to counteract the spreading of multi-drug-resistant pathogens through cross-contamination of surfaces. Coatings with nanostructured characteristics can exploit the different antimicrobial mechanisms of nanomaterials provided the composition, the morphology and the mechanical properties of the film can be tuned by the specific synthesis methods. This review addresses the synthesis of antibacterial nanostructured coatings with a focus on physical synthesis methods. After a short description of the bacteria-NP interaction mechanism, leading to the killing of cells, paradigmatic examples of coatings, obtained by magnetron sputtering and supersonic cluster beam deposition, are discussed, with an emphasis on the possibility of combining different elements into the coating to widen the bactericidal spectrum.
