Enhanced antimicrobial efficacy by impregnation of vascular grafts with nanocolloidal silver.

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
Objective: This in vitro study aims to evaluate any additional antimicrobial efficacy by impregnating nanocolloidal silver on commercially available vascular grafts, to compare the results with precoated silver grafts, and to test the feasibility of the procedure. Methods: Vascular grafts from a prosthetic graft material of polyester (polyethylene terephthalate, Dacron) and from a xenograft (bovine pericardium) were sprayed with a nanocolloidal silver solution on both sides of the grafts and left to vaporize for 10 minutes. Thereafter, the grafts were cut into 1 × 1 cm Results: Grafts impregnated with nanocolloidal silver spray demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in detected adhering bacteria compared to their controls, both after 1 hour and 24 hours of incubation ( Conclusions: Impregnating vascular grafts from polyester and bovine pericardium with a nanocolloidal silver spray, before inoculation with a bacterial suspension, significantly reduced bacterial colonization on the grafts. The procedure proved feasible and should be tested further in in vitro and in vivo trials.
