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

A cold atmospheric pressure plasma device was developed using two parallel plates of Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic with embedded electrodes. The 2.4 cm wide by 1 mm deep plasma discharge operates at 20 kHz with a 2-5 kV AC drive signal across a 0.25 mm gap. Mixed Argon/oxygen plasmas were directed between the plates to flow toward a bacterial biofilm sample for treatment. Results showed that at 4-5 kV the plasma etched away a bacterial biofilm on glass in 10 minutes. In addition, we showed that short plasma treatments rapidly killed biofilm resident bacteria with ED
