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

Eucalyptus oil (EO) is a natural and effective antimicrobial agent; however, it has disadvantages such as poor water solubility and instability. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of process vessels and preparation process parameters on the particle size of the emulsion droplets using ultrasonic technique and response surface methodology to prepare eucalyptus oil nanoemulsion (EONE). The optimal sonication process parameters in conical centrifuge tubes were confirmed: sonication distance of 0.9 cm, sonication amplitude of 18%, and sonication time of 2 min. Under these conditions, the particle size of EONE was 18.96 ± 4.66 nm, the polydispersity index was 0.39 ± 0.09, and the zeta potential was -31.17 ± 2.15 mV. In addition, the changes in particle size, potential, micromorphology, and anti-Escherichia coli activity of EONE during digestion were investigated by in vitro simulated digestion. The emulsion was stable in simulated salivary fluid, tended to aggregate in simulated gastric fluid, and increased in particle size and potential value in simulated intestinal fluid. EONE showed higher anti-E. coli activity than EO by simulated digestion. These results provide a useful reference for the in vivo antimicrobial application of the essential oil.
