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

Background: Maxillofacial silicone prostheses are widely used for the restoration of facial defects resulting from trauma, congenital abnormalities, or surgeries. However, these prostheses are highly susceptible to fungal infections, particularly by Materials and Methods: This Results: The results indicated that silicone samples with pomegranate peel powder showed significantly larger zones of inhibition compared to those without PPP. Silicone with 0.4% PPP exhibited the highest antifungal activity, followed by 0.2% PPP. The control group without PPP demonstrated minimal antifungal efficacy. This suggests a dose-dependent relationship between the concentration of PPP and the inhibition of fungal growth. Conclusion: The inclusion of pomegranate peel powder in maxillofacial silicone significantly enhances its antifungal properties against
