Designing Antibacterial-Based Quaternary Ammonium Coatings (Surfaces) or Films for Biomedical Applications: Recent Advances.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Antibacterial coatings based on quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) have been widely investigated in controlled release applications. Quaternary ammonium compounds are low-cost and easily accessible disinfectants that have been extensively used, especially after the COVID-19 outbreak. There has been a growing interest in developing a clearer understanding of various aspects that need to be taken into account for the design of quaternary ammonium compounds to be used in the biomedical field. In this contribution, we outline the mechanism of action of those materials as well as the key design parameters associated with their structure and antibacterial activity. Moreover, emphasis has been placed on the type of antibacterial coatings based on QACs and their applications in the biomedical field. A brief outlook on future research guidelines for the development of dual-function antibacterial coatings is also discussed.
