Inhibition of Microbial Growth and Biofilm Formation in Pure and Mixed Bacterial Samples.
Article in Microorganisms, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, requires large amounts of water to extract fossil fuel from rock formations. As a result of hydraulic fracturing, the briny wastewater, often termed back-produced fracturing or fracking water (FW), is pumped into holding ponds. One of the biggest challenges with produced water management is controlling microbial activity that could reduce the pond water's reusable layer and pose a significant environmental hazard. This study focuses on the characterization of back-produced water that has been hydraulically fractured using chemical and biological analysis and the development of a high-throughput screening method to evaluate and predict the antimicrobial effect of four naturally and commercially available acidic inhibitors (edetic acid, boric acid, tannic acid, and lactic acid) on the growth of the FW microbiome. Liquid cultures and biofilms of two laboratory model strains, the vegetative
