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

objectivesThe aim of this study is to establish a sterilization method for cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) dispersions that uses multiple preservatives with different hydrophilicities without affecting the physical and chemical properties of CNFs, and to provide useful information for sample preparation in future toxicity study of CNFs.

methodsVarious preservatives were added to the phosphorylated CNF dispersions, endotoxin level and the numbers of bacteria and fungi in the CNF dispersion were analyzed. The pH values and viscosity of sterilized CNF dispersions were compared with those of control and autoclaved CNF dispersions.

resultsPhosphorylated CNF dispersions at a concentration of 2.0 mg/mL or lower and the addition of 10 µg/mL benzalkonium chloride alone or 250 µg/mL methyl parahydroxybenzoate and 250 µg/mL propyl parahydroxybenzoate in combination can sterilize CNF dispersions without changing the physical and chemical properties of CNFs.

conclusionsWe developed sterilization method for CNF dispersions that uses multiple preservatives with different hydrophilicities without affecting the physical and chemical properties of CNFs. This sterilization method for CNFs dispersions can be applied to the safety assessment of CNF with different physicochemical properties in the future.
