Effect of various chemical disinfectants on the mechanical properties of elastomeric chains.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Different cleaning procedures affected the mechanical characteristics of elastomeric chains. Hence, 255 samples, divided into 17 groups of 15 samples each, were tested for bacterial contamination and tensile strength using five disinfection procedures. Colonies on culture plates indicated contamination, while the universal testing machine determined ultimate tensile strength. The samples disinfected with 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) remained contaminated, as shown by colony growth, even though there was a statistically significant reduction in colonies compared to the controls. All samples examined after 1 and 10 cycles in the disinfectants had higher ultimate tensile strengths than controls.
