Sporicidal mechanism of the combination of ortho-phthalaldehyde and benzyldimethyldodecylammonium chloride as a disinfectant against the Bacillus subtilis spores.
Article in Brazilian journal of microbiology : [publication of the Brazilian Society for Microbiology], 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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
Previous studies have shown that the combination disinfectant, Ortho-phthalaldehyde and benzyldimethyldodecylammonium chloride (ODB), can effectively kill a variety of microorganisms, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans. To observe the sporicidal ability and mechanism of ODB for spores, Bacillus subtilis spores were used as the research object in this experiment. TEM images revealed that ODB destroyed the integrity of the coat, cortex, and inner membrane of the spores after 0.5-h treatment, and the nuclear material was also broken and exuded after 4-h treatment. The broken structure led to the release of dipicolinic acid (DPA) in large amount. The results show that B. subtilis spores can be effetely killed by ODB through destroying the structure of the spores.
