Antiseptics' Concentration, Combination, and Exposure Time on Bacterial and Fungal Biofilm Eradication.
Article in Arthroplasty today, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: This study aims to assess the activity of solutions containing povidone-iodine (PI) and hydrogen peroxide (H Methods: Different antiseptic solutions were tested on 2-day-old biofilms of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi at 1 and 3 minutes of exposure. The efficacy of these solutions was evaluated by measuring the biofilm metabolic activity by methoxynitrosulfophenyl-tetrazolium carboxanilide (XTT) reduction assay. The anti-biofilm effect of 5% PI and 0.3% PI + 0.5% H Results: PI and H Conclusions: In the case of PJI caused by Gram-positive bacteria, 0.3% PI + 0.5% H₂O₂ could be used for wound irrigation for 3 minutes of exposure. In the case of PJI with a different etiological agent or PJI with an unknown etiology, it is advisable to use 5% PI for 1 minute of exposure.
