Evaluation of the Antibacterial Activity of Acetic Acid in Comparison With Three Disinfectants Against Bacteria Isolated From Hospital High-Touch Surfaces.

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
Acetic acid, a readily available and less toxic alternative to conventional disinfectants, is widely used for cleaning in household settings. This study evaluates the antibacterial efficacy of acetic acid against bacteria isolated from hospital high-touch surfaces, comparing its performance to commonly used disinfectants, including phenol, sodium hypochlorite, and didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC). A total of 120 samples were collected from high-touch surfaces in specialized patient areas. The antibacterial activity of acetic acid, phenol, sodium hypochlorite, and DDAC was assessed using the standard broth microdilution method against the isolated bacterial strains. From the 120 samples, 140 bacterial isolates were obtained. Acetic acid demonstrated strong antibacterial activity, with mean minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranging from 0.05 ± 0.00 to 0.25 ± 0.06 μL/mL, effectively inhibiting coagulase-negative
