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

In this study, superhydrophobic ZnO/Polytetrafluoroethylene (ZnO/PTFE) films with water droplet contact angles (CA) observed as high as 165° and water droplet sliding angles of (SA) <1° have been prepared on glass substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. The PTFE was wrapped on a nano-rod made of a ZnO film with superhydrophobic properties while providing excellent UV resistance compared to hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) hydrophobic agents. The upper surface of the rough ZnO film was coated with PTFE, and most of the underlying coating was bare ZnO, which could well make contact with bacteria. For the Gram-negative strain,
