Bacterial adhesion to biomaterials: What regulates this attachment? A review.
Review in The Japanese dental science review, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 100 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Bacterial attachment to biomaterials is of great interest to the medical and dental field due to its impact on dental implants, dental prostheses, and others, leading to the need to introduce methods for biofilm control and mitigation of infections. Biofilm adhesion is a multifactorial process and involves characteristics relevant to the bacterial cell as well as biological, chemical, and physical properties relative to the surface of biomaterials. Bacteria encountered different environmental conditions during their growth and developed interspecies communication strategies, as well as various mechanisms to detect the environment and facilitate survival, such as chemical sensors or physical detection mechanisms. However, the factors that govern microbial attachment to surfaces are not yet fully understood. In order to understand how bacteria interact with surfaces, as well as to characterize the physical-chemical properties of bacteria adhesins, and to determine their interrelation with the adhesion to the substrate, in recent years new techniques of atomic force microscopy (AFM) have been developed and helped by providing quantitative results. Thus, the purpose of this review is to gather current studies about the factors that regulate microbial adhesion to surfaces in order to offer a guide to studies to obtain technologies that provide an antimicrobial surface.
