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

The accumulation of biofilms can potentially be very costly in terms of damage to mechanical systems and health impact on the human body. Space travel, especially long-term space travel, compounds the complications that arise from the accumulation of biofilms because of the lack of access to resources. This study investigates the ability of polyampholyte copolymer thin films to reduce bacteria adhesion in microgravity. Copolymer systems of [2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride (TMA) and 2-carboxyethyl acrylate (CAA) and TMA and 3-sulfopropyl methacrylate potassium salt (SA) have previously shown resistance to bacteria adhesion under gravity-impacted conditions. However, their performance under microgravity conditions has never been evaluated. A self-contained payload was designed around multiple constraints to evaluate the ability of the TMA/CAA and TMA/SA thin film coatings to reduce the adhesion and biofilm formation of
