Magnetically Tunable Hydrogel for Biofilm Control.
Article in ACS applied bio materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bacterial biofilm formation contributes to healthcare and energy challenges, and researchers are actively pursuing a range of strategies to restrict the spread of biofilms in an eco-friendly manner. Commonly used approaches in industry rely on physical removal and chemical techniques, frequently targeting mature biofilms. While effective, these methods often face implementation challenges in remote settings and can have off-target environmental impacts. As a result, an alternative strategy is to focus on controlling or limiting the biofilm formation and growth rates with remote stimuli. It has been shown that the mechanotransduction pathway intrinsic to bacteria responds to changes in the storage modulus of the growth surface, modifying the bacteria's motility and biofilm formation. We developed a material with magnetically tunable mechanical properties by intercalating magnetic nanoparticles into an agar gel matrix and investigated its ability to control
