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

Infectious diseases are acknowledged as one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Statistics show that the annual death toll caused by bacterial infections has reached 14 million, most of which are caused by drug-resistant strains. Bacterial antibiotic resistance is currently regarded as a compelling problem with dire consequences, which motivates the urgent identification of alternative ways of fighting bacteria. Various types of nanomaterials have been reported to date as efficient antibacterial solutions. Among these, carbon-based nanomaterials, such as carbon nanodots, carbon graphene oxide, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), have been shown to be effective in killing a wide panel of pathogenic bacteria. With this study, we aim to provide additional insights into this topic of research by investigating the antibacterial activity of a specific type of multiwalled CNTs, with diameters from 50 to 150 nm, against two representative opportunistic pathogens, i.e., the Gram-positive bacterium
