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

Candidozyma auris (formerly Candida auris) is a multidrug-resistant yeast that poses a significant global health threat due to its ability to form biofilms and resist various antifungal treatments. This study evaluates and compares the antifungal efficacy of biologically synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NP-B) and chemically synthesized ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NP-C1 and ZnO-NP-C2), developed using the dry-wet chemical method and sol-gel method, respectively. ZnO-NP-B was synthesized using Lactobacillus gasseri. The nanoparticles were characterized for size, charge, and morphology using Particle Size Analyzer, photon correlation spectroscopy with a 90 Plus Zetasizer, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The antifungal activity was assessed through minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC
