In Vitro Bacterial Adhesion and Biofilm Formation on Fully Absorbable Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate and Nonabsorbable Polypropylene Pelvic Floor Implants.
Article in ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
Knitted polypropylene (PP) implants for the correction of pelvic organ prolapse have been associated with complications such as vaginal exposure, infection, and pain. Since certain complications may be linked to bacterial contamination and persistent inflammation, there is a rationale to develop a biocompatible implant that is less prone to bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. Delayed absorbable materials could meet these requirements and poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) might be such a new material for future pelvic floor implants. We studied in vitro bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on P4HB in comparison to PP. We investigated the influence of both polymers using flat films and compared P4HB and PP implants with different knitting designs. P4HB flat films were demonstrated to be hydrophilic with significantly less
