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

The clinical utility of sulfonamide antibiotics is increasingly challenged by antimicrobial resistance and pharmacokinetic limitations. In this study, we synthesized five graphene oxide-sulfonamide nanoconjugates (GO-S1 to GO-S5) via covalent functionalization, comprehensively characterized them by IR, Raman, SEM, EDS, etc., and evaluated their antimicrobial, antibiofilm, cytotoxic, apoptotic, hemolytic and gene expression-modulating effects. While the free sulfonamides (S1-S5) exhibited superior antimicrobial activity in planktonic cultures (MICs as low as 19 μg/mL), their GO-functionalized counterparts demonstrated enhanced antibiofilm efficacy, particularly against
