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

Numerous antimicrobial drugs have been prescribed to kill or inhibit the growth of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Despite the known therapeutic efficacy of these drugs, inefficient delivery could result in an inadequate therapeutic index and several side effects. In order to overcome this adversity, the present study investigated antibiotic drug loading in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), in association with ZnO nanoparticles with known antimicrobial properties. In an economic synthesis method, the ZnO surface was first converted to ZIF-8 with 2-methylimidazole as a ligand, resulting in a ZnO@ZIF-8 structure. This system enables the high drug-loading efficiency (46%) of an antimicrobial drug, ciprofloxacin, within the pores of the ZIF-8. This association provides a control of the release of the active moieties, in simulated body-fluid conditions, with a maximum of 67% released in 96 h. The antibacterial activities of ZnO@ZIF-8 and CIP-ZnO@ZIF-8 were tested against the Gram-positive
