Silver-Polystyrene (Ag/PS) Nanocomposites Doped with Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)-Fabrication and Bactericidal Activity.
Article in Nanomaterials (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
In the present work, we report the studies on perfectly homogeneous nanocomposites composed of polystyrene-grafted silver nanoparticles (Ag@PS) as a bioactive fulfilment and a mixture of polystyrene (PS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a matrix. The procedure developed by our group of the nanocomposites' preparation consists of three steps: synthesis of narrow-dispersive AgNPs (5.96 ± 1.02 nm); grafting of narrowly dispersed polystyrene onto the surface of AgNPs; thermoforming with a mixture of PS/PVA. Kirby-Bauer (K-B) and Dynamic Shake Flask (DSF) assays revealed high antibacterial activity against a series of Gram(-) and Gram(+) bacteria strains of the fabricated nanocomposites at low silver content (0.5%). We showed that the doping of Ag/PS composites with PVA increases the antibacterial activity of composites. The hydrophilic component in the nanocomposites enables easier water migration inside the polymer matrix, which makes releasing silver nanoparticles and silver ions to the environment facile.
