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

Antimicrobial silver materials for drinking water disinfection have become increasingly popular in building-wide systems (e.g., copper-silver ionization) and point-of-use applications (e.g., silver containing plumbing fixtures) to combat the microbial growth of drinking water associated pathogens that can cause infections in the immunocompromised (DWPIs). However, evaluations of various silver-containing treatments suggest that their efficacy is often temporary or incomplete. A potential explanation of these observations is insufficient dosing of silver into the drinking water to reduce these types of microorganisms, which are known to be more resistant to biocides. Instead, sublethal exposure may cause these microorganisms to adapt in ways that increase their resistance to disinfection. In this study, we assessed the effects of different silver concentrations on biofilms of clinically and environmentally isolated
