Long-Term Effectiveness of Engineered T7 Phages Armed with Silver Nanoparticles Against
Article in International journal of nanomedicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
The escalating threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, particularly those forming biofilm structures, underscores the urgent need for alternative treatment strategies. Bacteriophages have emerged as promising agents for combating bacterial infections, especially those associated with biofilm formation. However, the efficacy of phage therapy can be limited by the development of bacterial resistance and biofilm regrowth. Interestingly, phages could be combined with other agents, such as metal nanoparticles, to enhance their antibacterial effectiveness. Since the therapeutic strategy of using phages and metal nanoparticles has been developed relatively recently, evaluating its efficacy under various conditions is essential, with a particular focus on the duration of activity. This study tested the hypothesis that a novel approach to combating bacterial biofilms, based on phages armed with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), would exhibit enhanced activity over an extended period after application. In this work, we investigated the potential of engineered T7 phages armed with AgNPs for eradicating
