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

Antimicrobial function in protective and medical textiles is an essential safety feature since textiles can become breeding grounds for microorganisms. Ideally, the antimicrobial function in textiles should be non-toxic, stable, and durable. This study explores a core-shell nanofiber with a core of the cationic biopolymer ε-poly-L-lysine (PL) and shell of structurally similar and biocompatible polyamide-6 (PA). The core-shell structure is expected to have a more stable antimicrobial function than its monolithic counterpart. Further, thermal crosslinking is expected to prevent rapid diffusion of the water-soluble PL. Therefore, this study establishes a comparison between a monolithic (control), a core-shell (CS), and a thermally crosslinked core-shell (CL-CS) nanofiber of PL and PA. Morphological analysis confirmed the successful generation of the core-shell nanofibers. All the samples exhibited hydrophilic behavior and antimicrobial function. However, the control sample showcased significantly reduced zones of inhibition in antimicrobial testing with 21 days of bacterial exposure (1.027 ± 0.072 cm
