1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Nowadays, new water disinfection materials attract a lot of attention for their cost-saving and ease of application. Nevertheless, the poor durability of the matrices and the loss of physically incorporated or chemically attached antibacterial agents that can occur during water purification processes considerably limit their prolonged use. In this study, a polystyrene-based cationic resin (R4) with intrinsic broad-spectrum antibacterial effects was produced without needing to be enriched with additional antibacterial agents that could detach during use. Particularly, R4 was achieved by copolymerizing 4-ammonium-butyl-styrene (4-ABSTY) with N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) and using N-(2-acryloylamino-ethyl)-acrylamide (AAEA) as a cross-linker. The R4 obtained showed a spherical morphology, micro-dimensioned particles, high hydrophilicity, high-level porosity, and excellent swelling capabilities. Additionally, the swollen R4 to its maximum swelling capability, when dried with gentle heating for 3 h, released water following the Higuchi's kinetics, thus returning to the original structure. In time-kill experiments on the clinical isolates of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens of fecal origin, such as enterococci, Group B
