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

In this study, the safe and scalable N-methylation of primary amines in a linear polyglycerol (LPG) backbone structure is reported with altering molecular weight using gaseous chloromethane for the generation of quaternary ammonium groups. All polymers are subsequently analyzed for their antibacterial and antibiofilm properties against drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), showing that the implementation of quaternary ammonium groups to a polymer backbone structure is an efficient way to generate new antimicrobial agents. Thereby, the molecular weight of the polymer backbone structure strongly correlates to its antibacterial effect and can be altered depending on the desired application.
