Impact of material properties for improved Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm inactivation with 280 nm UV LEDs.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Biofilm microbial communities encased in extracellular polymeric substances are a concern in drinking water premise plumbing and fixtures, and are challenging to remove and disinfect. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), a commonly used surrogate organism, is employed in this study due to its widely documented occurrence in biofilms within drinking water systems. This study investigates 280 nm UV light emitting diodes (UV LEDs) for inactivating P. aeruginosa biofilms grown on common plumbing materials extruded Polytetrafluoroethylene, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, Viton®, Silicone, High Density Poly Ethylene, Stainless Steel, Porex (expanded PTFE), and Polycarbonate. Biofilms were cultivated in CDC biofilm reactors on 12.8 mm diameter coupons and then exposed to UV LED light at fluences ranging from 5 to 40 mJ/cm
