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

Microbial contamination in drinking water has become an important threat to human health. There is thus an urgent need to develop antibacterial materials to treat drinking water. Here, porous silver-loaded biochar (C-Ag) was prepared using corn straw as the substrate and silver as the antibacterial agent. C-Ag was then uniformly distributed in polyvinyl alcohol gel beads of eluted calcium carbonate to prepare p-PVA/C-Ag antibacterial composite. The polymer composites were tested by FT-IR, XRD, SEM and TG-DSC. The results showed that C-Ag was more evenly distributed in the PVA gel spheres. Antibacterial experiments showed that p-PVA/C-Ag greatly inhibited Escherichia coli. Practical application tests revealed that p-PVA/C-Ag showed high and sustained bactericidal inhibition and reusability. Generally, p-PVA/C-Ag composite shows high potential to be applied to drinking water treatment.
