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

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a green, natural biopolymer with excellent biocompatibility and a film-forming ability. However, its lack of inherent antibacterial activity restricts its application in medical materials and food preservation. In this study, BC derived from the juice of discarded Xinhui citrus was obtained through fermentation and further modified in situ with graphene oxide (GO) to obtain BC(GO). Subsequently, BC(GO) was loaded with cell-compatible polypyrrole (PPy) and antibacterial agent silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to prepare Ag-PPy/BC(GO) composite films. Composite films were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) to evaluate their chemical structure and morphology. The results demonstrate effective adsorption of PPy and AgNPs onto the surface of BC nanofibers modified with GO. Antibacterial experiments reveal synergistic antibacterial effects of PPy and AgNPs. The Ag-PPy/BC(GO) membranes exhibit strong antibacterial activity against both
