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

To combat infections, silver was used extensively in biomedical field but there was a need for a capping agent to eliminate its cytotoxic effects. In this study, polymeric calcium polyphosphate was doped by silver with three concentrations 1, 3 or 5 mol.% and were characterized by TEM, XRD, FTIR, TGA. Moreover, cytotoxicity, antibacterial, cell migration and DNA fragmentation assays were done to assure its safety. The results showed that the increase in silver percentage caused an increase in particle size. XRD showed the silver peaks, which indicated that it is present in its metallic form. The TGA showed that thermal stability was increased by increasing silver content. The antibacterial tests showed that the prepared nanoparticles have an antibacterial activity against tested pathogens. In addition, the cytotoxicity results showed that the samples exhibited non-cytotoxic behavior even with the highest doping concentration (5% Ag-CaPp). The cell migration assay showed that the increase in the silver concentration enhances cell migration up to 3% Ag-CaPp. The DNA fragmentation test revealed that all the prepared nanoparticles caused no fragmentation. From the results we can deduce that 3% Ag-CaPp was the optimum silver doped calcium polyphosphate concentration that could be used safely for medical applications.
