Raman Microscopic Analysis of Dry-Surface Biofilms on Clinically Relevant Materials.
Article in Microorganisms, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Moist/hydrated biofilms have been well-studied in the medical area, and their association with infections is widely recognized. In contrast, dry-surface biofilms (DSBs) on environmental surfaces in healthcare settings have received less attention. DSBs have been shown to be widespread on commonly used items in hospitals and to harbor bacterial pathogens that are known to cause healthcare-acquired infections (HAI). DSBs cannot be detected by routine surface swabbing or contact plates, and studies have shown DSBs to be less susceptible to cleaning/disinfection products. As DSBs are increasingly reported in the medical field, and there is a likelihood they also occur in food production and manufacturing areas, there is a growing demand for the rapid in situ detection of DSBs and the identification of pathogens within DSBs. Raman microspectroscopy allows users to obtain spatially resolved information about the chemical composition of biofilms, and to identify microbial species. In this study, we investigated
