COVALENT GRAFTING OF TANFLOC ON TITANIA NANOTUBE ARRAYS: AN APPROACH TO MITIGATE BACTERIAL ADHESION AND IMPROVE THE ANTIBACTERIAL EFFICACY OF TITANIUM IMPLANTS.
Article in Advanced materials interfaces, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Implanted medical devices often face the challenge of infections, which can compromise their successful integration and use. To address this issue, this study demonstrates the covalent grafting of a tannin-based antimicrobial biopolymer tanfloc (TAN) onto the titania nanotube arrays (TiNTs) surface to enhance antibacterial properties. Due to its polyphenolic and ionic structural configuration, tanfloc possesses unique properties that enable it to interact with and disrupt bacterial cell walls and membranes. Combining the topographical effect of TiNTs with the inherent antibacterial properties of tanfloc, this approach aims to mitigate bacterial threats on medical implants effectively. The successful attachment of tanfloc on TiNTs was confirmed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The antibacterial and antibiofilm efficacy of the tanfloc-functionalized TiNTs was evaluated against
