Dispersant Effects on Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Antibacterial Activity.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
There is significant interest in understanding whether nanomaterials with outstanding mechanical or electrical properties also possess antibacterial properties. However, assessment of antibacterial activity is a complex problem at the interface of chemistry and microbiology. Results can be affected by many factors including nanomaterial size, surface chemistry, concentration, and the dispersion media. The difficulty of dispersing nanomaterials such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has resulted in many studies being conducted in the presence of dispersion aides which may themselves contribute to bacterial stress. The recent discovery that a standard microbial growth media, tryptic soy broth (TSB), is an effective SWNT dispersant provides a new opportunity to investigate the potential antibacterial activity of SWNTs using dispersants that range from antibacterial to growth-supporting. The five dispersants chosen for this work were Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), pluronic, lysozyme, DNA, and tryptic soy broth.
