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
This study evaluates the electrochemical performance of 316 L stainless steel alloy as a potential ureteral stent material in a synthetic urine environment mimicking conditions of Candida-associated urinary tract infections. The electrochemical behavior was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and potentiodynamic polarization techniques, both in the presence and absence of Candida albicans. Results demonstrated that the formation of a biofilm by Candida albicans significantly influences the corrosion behavior of the alloy, as evidenced by changes in electrochemical parameters. Surface morphology and microbial adhesion were further confirmed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), revealing biofilm development on the alloy’s surface. These findings highlight the critical role of fungal colonization in the degradation and stability of metallic ureteral stents under infection conditions.
