Evaluation of the Novel Antimicrobial BCP3 in a Coating for Endotracheal Tubes.
Article in ACS omega, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a highly common hospital-acquired infection affecting people that require mechanical ventilation. The endotracheal tube (ETT) used during the ventilation process provides a surface that can allow bacterial colonization and biofilm formation, which can lead to VAP. Although various approaches, including ETT design and material selection, as well as antimicrobial coatings have been employed to minimize adverse events, VAP remains a significant unresolved clinical issue. In this study, we have utilized a novel styrylbenzene-based antimicrobial (BCP3) in a simple and robust coating that allows its long-term release at an effective level. BCP3 was applied onto PVC ETT segments blended together with poly(lactic-
