Nano-encapsulated Melissa officinalis Essential Oil and Its Antibacterial Effects Against Multi Drug Resistant E. coli and K. pneumonia.

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
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common bacterial infections in children, frequently caused by E. coli and K. pneumoniae, whose biofilm-forming ability makes them resistant to antibiotics. In order to investigate an alternate drug delivery system to combat the microbial resistance, M. officinalis essential oil with its inherent antimicrobial properties was loaded in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) to properly enhance its antibacterial effects. Physico-chemical evaluations along with antibacterial assessment were conducted. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) results revealed that SLNs had an average size of 138.8 ± 34.3 nm and a zeta potential of -32.3 mV. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images confirmed their cuboid structure and smooth surface. The encapsulation efficiency of MO-SLN was 83 ± 2.1% and cumulative oil release from MO-SLN was 86.34 ± 0.1 in 72 h. The antibacterial activity of MO-SLN and MO were reported with MIC and MBC values of 545-570 µgmL
