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

This research highlights the issue that large amount of sweat generated by metabolism cannot be discharged from the internal environment of traditional fire suits when firefighters are intensively operating in high-temperature environments. This is highly prone to bacterial growth, which brings much harm to their health. Therefore, this study aims to present a new fire-retardant fabric with both antibacterial and high hygroscopic properties. Blended fibers were used including aramid 1313 fibers with excellent flame retardancy and flame-retardant viscose fibers. By uniformly embedding antibacterial nanofibers into the microfiber aggregates and controlling the adhesion behavior at the cross-scale interfaces of micro-nano fibers, the fire-retardant yarns were endowed with both antibacterial and moisture-transporting properties. The bacterial inhibition rate was calculated by comparing colonies cultured on EF fabric versus NF fabric. Additionally, the antibacterial and moisture-wicking properties of the fabrics were verified through tests such as placing the fabrics vertically in liquid to measure the height of absorbed moisture. This prepared functionally integrated fabric has excellent antibacterial properties even after 50 washing cycles. Its antibacterial rate against
