Effective Treatment of Skin Wounds Co-Infected with Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria with a Novel Nanoemulsion.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Wound infections with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are particularly difficult to treat and present a great challenge to clinicians. Nanoemulsions (NE) are novel oil-in-water emulsions formulated from soybean oil, water, solvent, and surfactants such as benzalkonium chloride (BZK). An optimal ratio of those components produces nanometer-sized particles with the positive-charged surfactant at their oil-water interface. We sought to investigate antimicrobial NE as a novel treatment to address wounds co-infected by MRSA and VRE. Swine split-thickness skin wounds were first infected with MRSA and/or VRE, then treated with the nanoemulsion formulation (X-1735) or placebo controls. Bacterial viability after treatment were determined by nutrient agar plates for total, MRSA-specific, and VRE-specific loads. In addition, inflammation indexes were scored by histopathology. When VRE infected wounds were treated with X-1735, they contained 10
