A Collection and Analysis of Simplified Data for a Better Understanding of the Complex Process of Biofilm Inactivation by Ultraviolet and Visible Irradiation.
Review in Microorganisms, 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
Biofilms are communities of microorganisms that pose a problem in many areas, including the food industry, drinking water treatment, and medicine, because they can contain pathogens and are difficult to eliminate. For this reason, the possibility of biofilm reduction by ultraviolet (UV) or visible light was investigated using data from published reports. Results for different applications, spectral ranges, and microorganisms were compared by performing MANOVA tests. Approximately 140 publications were found that dealt with the irradiation of water or surfaces for biofilm reduction or reduction in biofilm formation. Irradiation of surfaces with UV or visible light in the spectral range 200-525 nm had a positive effect on biofilm reduction and reduction in biofilm formation, although the results for irradiation of water were conflicting. Most investigations were carried out on
