Sprayable Biocide-Free Polyurethane Paint that Reduces Biofouling and Facilitates Removal of Pathogenic Bacteria from Surfaces.
Article in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 ability to prevent bacterial adhesion on surfaces and to facilitate the removal of bacteria once they have already contaminated or colonized a surface is important in a broad range of fundamental and applied contexts. The work reported here sought to characterize the physicochemical properties of a family of biocide-free hydrophobic polyurethane coatings containing polysiloxane segments and evaluate their ability to mitigate bacterial fouling and/or facilitate subsequent surface cleaning after exposure to pathogenic bacteria. We developed benchtop microbiological assays to characterize surface fouling and subsequent removal of bacteria after repeated (i) short-term intermittent physical contact with and (ii) longer-term continuous flow-based contact with liquid growth media containing either
