Environmentally Friendly and Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Poly(hexamethylene guanidine)-Modified Polypropylene and Its Antifouling Application.

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
Biological fouling is one of the main reasons that limits the application of traditional polypropylene (PP) fishing nets in aquaculture. Here, a new environmentally friendly and broad-spectrum antibacterial agent called cationic poly(hexamethylene guanidine) (PHMG) was grafted onto PP molecular chains via permanent chemical bonding to inhibit the biological fouling. The antibacterial monofilaments were obtained by blending different contents of PP-g-PHMG with PP by melt spinning. FTIR results found PHMG to be stably present in the mixed monofilaments after high-temperature melt spinning molding. The crystallinity, relaxation behavior, mechanical properties, water absorptivity, and antibacterial and antifouling efficiencies of the PP-g-PHMG/PP blends were strongly dependent on PP-g-PHMG. The crystallinity increased with increasing PP-g-PHMG content. Adding PP-g-PHMG improved the breaking strength, knotting strength, and elongation at the break for all ratios of PP-g-PHMG/PP blends. However, the water absorption caused by PHMG is low, ranging between 2.48% and 3.45% for the PP-g-PHMG/PP monofilaments. The monofilaments showed excellent nonleaching antimicrobial activities against
