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

Biofilms are responsible for about considerable amounts of cases of bacterial infections in humans. They are considered a major threat to transplant and chronic wounds patients due to their highly resistant nature against antibacterial materials and due to the limited types of techniques that can be applied to remove them. Here we demonstrate a successful in-situ bio-assisted synthesis of dual functionality nanoparticles composed of Silver and Gold. This is done using a jellyfish-based scaffold, an antibacterial material as the templating host in the synthesis. We further explore the scaffold's antibacterial and photothermal properties against various gram-negative and positive model bacteria with and without photo-induced heating at the Near-IR regime. We show that when the scaffold is loaded with these bimetallic nanoparticles, it exhibits dual functionality: Its photothermal capabilities help to disrupt and remove bacterial colonies and mature biofilms, and its antibacterial properties prevent the regrowth of new biofilms.
