An imidazolium-based zwitterionic polymer for antiviral and antibacterial dual functional coatings.
Article in Science advances, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
To reduce the severe health risk and the huge economic impact associated with the fomite transmission of SARS-CoV-2, an imidazolium-based zwitterionic polymer was designed, synthesized, and demonstrated to achieve contact deactivation of a human coronavirus under dry ambient conditions that resemble fomite transmission. The zwitterionic polymer further demonstrated excellent antifouling properties, reducing the adhesion of coronavirus and the formation of bacteria biofilms under wetted conditions. The polymer was synthesized using a substrate-independent and solvent-free process, leveraging an all-dry technique named initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD). The broad applicability of this approach was demonstrated by applying the polymer to a range of substrates that are curved and/or with high-aspect-ratio nano/microporous structures, which remained intact after the coating process. The zwitterionic polymer and the synthesis approach reported here present an effective solution to mitigate viral transmission without the need for manual disinfection, reducing the health and economic impact of the ongoing pandemic.
