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

Soap is essentially used for various purposes. Therefore, it is important to determine the physico-chemical, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties of soaps to evaluate their quality. The present research work focuses on 22 commercial soaps which include bar soaps (SN 1-SN 19) and liquid hand washes (SN 20-SN 22). The values of different parameters for commercial soaps are observed which are between 3.84-83.75 % for moisture content, 6.83-25.16 cm for foam height, 7.01-10.17 for pH, 62.47-91.39 % for total fatty matter, 0.20-1.17 % for total alkali content, zone of inhibition, 17.33-29.27 mm/100 % conc., antioxidant activity, 357.41-777.15 μg/mL. It is observed that all of the soaps have a foam height, and pH within the permitted limit (FH-above 1.5 cm, pH 7-10). All bar soap has a total fatty matter and a total alkali content within the accepted value. Moreover, 8 soaps show antimicrobial properties against
