Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activity of Layers Enriched with Silver Nanoparticles on Orthodontic Microimplants.
Article in Journal of functional biomaterials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Orthodontic microimplants have revolutionized anchorage in orthodontics but remain vulnerable to microbial colonization, potentially leading to infection and failure. Surface modifications incorporating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) offer antimicrobial benefits, providing long-term protection against bacterial infections, while improving partial osseointegration. This study investigates hybrid coatings enriched with AgNPs, calcium (Ca), and phosphorus (P) to improve antimicrobial efficacy and reduce biofilm formation. Microimplants fabricated from the Ti6Al4V alloy were divided into six groups with varying surface treatments, including etching in hydrofluoric acid and hybrid layers containing 0.5 mol% AgNPs and CaP. Antibacterial activity was evaluated using agar diffusion and biofilm formation assays against
