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

Poly(2-oxazoline) coatings with antibiofouling properties and good biocompatibility can also be deposited by the plasma polymerization method using 2-methyl-2-oxazoline and 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline as monomers. Plasma polymers are formed of various monomer fragments and recombination products. Commonly, plasma polymers are highly crosslinked structures created by many different fragments, preferably of no repeating unit. Thus, chemical analysis of plasma polymers is difficult. To obtain a better description of plasma polymerized poly(2-oxazoline) coatings, the analysis of their plasma deposition process was performed. The electron ionization of 2-methyl-2-oxazoline and 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline molecules was studied using the crossed electron-molecular beam technique with mass spectrometric detection of the produced ions. The chemical composition of gaseous compounds at plasma polymerization was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) and optical emission spectroscopy (OES). Also, the chemical composition and antibacterial activity of the water leachates from previously deposited poly(2-oxazoline) films were tested using FTIR spectroscopy and the disk diffusion method, respectively. It was found that acetonitrile and propionitrile are the main neutral products created in the nitrogen discharge with 2-methyl-2-oxazoline and 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline monomers. The water leachates from deposited films do not exhibit any antibacterial activity. It was concluded that the antibacterial properties of POx films are due to their hydrophility.
