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
This study was aimed to create a bioactive hydrogel form with PVA/PVP (polyvinyl alcohol/poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) polymer using acetone and ethanol extractions of Jania rubens red algae and investigate some pharmaceutical properties. The anti-candidal activity and some inhibition performance of J. rubens/PVA/PVP hydrogel were investigated on Candida tropicalis which is one of the important causes of bloodstream infections. The physicochemical properties of J. rubens/PVA/PVP hydrogel were revealed using FTIR and swelling-absorption tests. The volatile compounds of J. rubens extracts were examined by GCMS. By mixing the extracts in equal proportions, PVA/PVP-based hydrogel was prepared. According to the results, Cumulative Drug Release was stable at 25 °C for the first 5 h. The IZ (inhibition zone) and MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) of J. rubens/PVA/PVP hydrogel were 9.01 mm and 80.20 mg/mL, respectively. It was found that logarithmic reduction and percent reduction were seen as 1.5 CFU/mL and 97.5%, respectively, on C. tropicalis exposed to J. rubens/PVA/PVP hydrogel in the first 5 min of the incubation. After exposure of C. tropicalis to J. rubens/PVA/PVP, the number of viable cells transferred from the gel to water was between 76.1 and 73.1% in high glucose medium, while it was between 92.2 and 80.8% for the PVA/PVP hydrogel under the same conditions. As a result, PVA/PVP hydrogel was made bioactive with J. rubens extracts for the first time in this study, and its potential for use as a functional anticandidal hydrogel on C. tropicalis has been demonstrated.
