Nanogallium-poly(L-lactide) Composites with Contact Antibacterial Action.

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
In diverse biomedical and other applications of polylactide (PLA), its bacterial contamination and colonization are unwanted. For this reason, this biodegradable polymer is often combined with antibacterial agents or fillers. Here, we present a new solution of this kind. Through the process of simple solvent casting, we developed homogeneous composite films from 28 ± 5 nm oleic-acid-capped gallium nanoparticles (Ga NPs) and poly(L-lactide) and characterized their detailed morphology, crystallinity, aqueous wettability, optical and thermal properties. The addition of Ga NPs decreased the ultraviolet transparency of the films, increased their hydrophobicity, and enhanced the PLA structural ordering during solvent casting. Albeit, above the glass transition, there is an interplay of heterogeneous nucleation and retarded chain mobility through interfacial interactions. The gallium content varied from 0.08 to 2.4 weight %, and films with at least 0.8% Ga inhibited the growth of
