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

In this study, previously synthesized poly-D-mannose (PM) served as the stabilizing agent for the production of silver nanoparticles (designated PM-AgNPs), which were subsequently assessed for their antibacterial and antibiofilm capabilities against foodborne pathogens. The PM-AgNPs were successfully synthesized, exhibiting a distinct surface plasmon resonance absorption peak at 400 nm. Fourier transform infrared analysis revealed the stabilization mechanism of silver nanoparticles by PM, involving the formation of O-H⋯Ag hydrogen bonds and C-O⋯Ag coordination bonds. Both transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering measurements confirmed the spherical morphology of PM-AgNPs, with particle sizes ranging from 2 to 18 nm and a zeta potential of -24.7 mV. Furthermore, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis disclosed the elemental composition of PM-AgNPs to be C:O:Ag in a ratio of 39.32:37.93:22.75. To evaluate the antibacterial and antibiofilm efficacy of PM-AgNPs against selected pathogenic bacteria and their biofilms, the broth microdilution method and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide staining assay were employed, respectively. The inhibitory effect of PM-AgNPs on five pathogenic bacteria was found to be in the following order: IMPORTANCE: The control of foodborne pathogens, including
