Article in ACS omega, 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
Since the 15th century, scientists have been working to address biofouling, the accumulation of biofilm on submerged surfaces, like ships and buoys. Key stages in this process include bacterial precipitation and radical polymerization of bacteria's metabolites. Along with corrosion and extended fuel consumption by ships, biofilm also contributes to ecological changes by spreading invasive bacterial species across the world when segments of biofilm are detached from moving ships. Historically, effective antifouling solutions have been toxic to marine ecosystems and are now banned in many regions, including the US. While recently developed highly hydrophobic polymers have promise, they are currently expensive and challenging for technology transfer.As an alternative solution, nontoxic formulations have been studied for antifouling coatings that utilize organic renewable superfruits, medicinal herbs, and nonbiofilm-forming algae rich in antioxidants and/or essential oils and terpenes, combined with biocompatible polymers.
