WATER PLASMA TREATMENT METHOD: SIMULTANEOUS STERILIZATION AND SURFACE MODIFICATION OF TITANIUM-BASED IMPLANTS.
Article in Materials research (Sao Carlos, Sao Paulo, Brazil), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 aims the applicability and efficacy of a new DC water plasma method at low temperature, for the sterilization of titanium contaminated samples and its effects on the surface oxide layer and morphological structure. The plasma treatment was carried out at a temperature of 60°C, for a predefined time of 10 minutes. Water vapor was generated from distilled water and polarized at -700 V during plasma-on period. Elemental analysis revealed that Ti surfaces showed a complete absence of organic and inorganic molecules (0% at detected /1% sensitivity) and complete bacteria elimination. Additionally, the oxygen content remained around 8% indicating a positive outcome for bioactivity titanium surface due to oxide presence. Initial results support that the water plasma system enables effective elimination of surface microorganisms while enhancing the natural oxide layer make up of titanium using a low temperature and water-based sterilization system that can be envisioned for clinical use.
