Assessment of microbial contamination in laser materials processing laboratories used for prototyping of biomedical devices.
Article in Access microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Microbial contamination of medical devices during pilot production can be a significant barrier as the laboratory environment is a source of contamination. There is limited information on microbial contaminants in laser laboratories and environments involved in the pilot production of medical devices. This study aimed to determine the bioburden and microbial contaminants present in three laser laboratories - an ISO class 7 clean room, a pilot line facility and a standard laser laboratory. Microbiological air sampling was by passive air sampling using settle plates and the identity of isolates was confirmed by DNA sequencing. Particulate matter was analysed using a portable optical particle counter. Twenty bacterial and 16 fungal genera were isolated, with the genera
