Improving mechanical and antibacterial properties of PMMA via polyblend electrospinning with silk fibroin and polyethyleneimine towards dental applications.
Article in Bioactive materials, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) is a widely used material in dental applications, particularly as denture resins. Due to thermally unstable and wet oral cavity, the implanted PMMA based resins occasionally deform and grow bacterial biofilms at the interface between oral cavity and the biomaterial. Several strategies attempted earlier to improve the bacterial resistance and mechanical performance of PMMA. Poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) is a hyperbranched cationic polymer shown earlier to improve antibacterial activity of resins but do not improve mechanical properties of the resins alone, while silk fibroin (SF) is a natural biopolymer with unique material properties. In this study, we combined SF and PEI towards development of antibacterial and mechanically superior PMMA based materials towards overcoming its drawbacks. Using polyblend electrospinning to combine SF, PEI and PMMA, we successfully developed intrinsically antibacterial and mechanically reinforced nanofiber mats. We propose that the resulting nanofiber mats have the potential to be incorporated into PMMA based denture resin materials to overcome the problems of patients and improve their quality of life.
