Chemical Hydrogels Bearing Thiazolium Groups with a Broad Spectrum of Antimicrobial Behavior.
Article in Polymers, 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
Several hydrogels based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and a methacrylic monomer containing a thiazole group in its lateral chain have been prepared by thermal polymerization at 60 °C in water solution varying the chemical composition of the gels. The posterior quaternization of the thiazole groups with methyl iodine has rendered positively charged hydrogels with potential antimicrobial activity. This modification has been structurally characterized by infrared spectroscopy, whereas the thermal stability of all hydrogels has been studied by thermal degradation in inert atmosphere. The swelling behavior in distilled water and the rheology of the different hydrogels have been analyzed as a function of 2-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl)ethyl methacrylate (MTA) monomer content as well as its methylation. Finally, the active character of hydrogels against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi has been evaluated, revealing excellent antimicrobial activity against all tested microorganisms. The methylated hydrogels could be used as potential materials for wound healing or contact lens applications.
