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

purposeWound healing disorders caused by bacterial infections in dental surgery, especially where membranes are used, are a common issue in oral surgery. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) offers a non-invasive solution for surface decontamination, including dental implants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of CAP on various clinically applied membranes made of collagen and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). MATERIALS AND

methodsTo assess the antibacterial properties of CAP, enterococcus faecalis were seeded on different membranes: Memlock (collagen), Memlock Pliable (collagen), Agronaut (collagen), and PermaPro (PTFE); n = 4. After in vitro cultivation for 6 days, CAP using a kINPen

resultsBacterial colonization was highest on collagen-based membranes (CFU Memlock: 14.38 ± 8.91). The results showed that CAP significantly reduced bacterial colonization on all membrane types after 10 min application of CAP; Memlock (CFU after 10 min 0.22 ± 0.16^10

conclusionCAP thus offers a non-invasive, cost-effective method to reduce bacterial infections in guided bone regeneration using membranes.
