Plasma-activated water accelerates wound healing and reduces
Article in Biofilm, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Chronic wound infections are notoriously difficult to treat due to bacterial biofilms - protective communities of microbes that can resist antibiotics and host defenses. With rising antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need for non-antibiotic therapies that can effectively disrupt biofilms and promote wound healing. Plasma-activated water (PAW), produced by bubbling cold plasma into water, creates an antimicrobial solution rich in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of PAW as a topical wound cleanser. In vitro, we demonstrated that PAW effectively eradicated biofilm-forming bacteria, including
