Antimicrobial efficacy of aqueous ozone in combination with short chain fatty acid buffers.
Article in Infection prevention in practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundMitigating surface contamination by microbes such as
aimTo determine whether addition of buffering solution to source water used for manufacture of aqueous ozone increases ozone efficacy against ozone-resistant bacterial species.
methodsAntimicrobial effects of aqueous ozone were studied in combination with acetate, propionate, or butyrate short chain fatty acids (SCFA) as well as citrate or oxalate buffer formulations against
findingsThe acetate, propionate, and butyrate buffered aqueous ozone combinations had a significant 3-4 log reduction of
conclusionsAll buffer systems tested had a significantly greater reduction in CFUs following treatment with the combination of buffer and ozone, compared to treatment with buffer or ozone individually, which has not been previously reported for hard surfaces. These results suggest that SCFA buffered ozone has greater anti-bacterial activity relative to either agent alone, and the activity is independent of the buffering activity. Thus, these formulations have potential to sanitize without residues, using an environmentally conscious formulation.
