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

Bacterial biofilm formation on wet surfaces represents a significant problem in medicine and environmental sciences. One of the strategies to prevent or eliminate surface adhesion of organisms is surface modification and coating. However, the current coating technologies possess several drawbacks, including limited durability, low biocompatibility and high cost. Here, we present a simple antibacterial modification of titanium, mica and glass surfaces using self-assembling nano-structures. We have designed two different nano-structure coatings composed of fluorinated phenylalanine via the drop-cast coating technique. We investigated and characterized the modified surfaces by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and wettability analyses. Exploiting the antimicrobial property of the nano-structures, we successfully hindered the viability of
