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

The main component of rosin natural gum is abietic acid, which has an interesting chemical structure to be studied with the influence of gamma-ray and the antimicrobial activity on the properties of a cheap abundant solid state natural material of rosin. Rosin is exposed to a wide scale of gamma-ray ranges from 0 to 100 kGy. The changes in the properties are tracked by various techniques of FTIR, XRD, TGA, GPC, and SEM. The molecular weight of rosin changes from 370 g/mol to higher and the morphological properties were investigated. The irradiated rosin acid (IRA) at different irradiation doses exploited antimicrobial effect versus Gram-positive and Gram-negative as well. The inhibition zone enhanced from 15 to 33, 14 to 28, 14 to 20, and 9 to 14 mm for Gram-positive and Gram-negative, respectively. Moreover, bioactive behavior for irradiated rosin of 40 kGy recorded the highest antibacterial activity against both types of bacteria. The outcome data of antimicrobial activity are good and confirm that there is a significant effect of irradiation dose on the biocidal activity of rosin.
