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

The rampant overuse of antibiotics in recent decades has significantly contributed to the emergence of antibiotic resistance. This highlights the need for new antibacterial strategies to reduce dependence on traditional antibiotics and slow the development of resistance. Concanavalin A-coated silver/silver chloride nanoparticles (ConA/Ag/AgCl-NPs) offer a promising alternative, combining the antimicrobial activity of metallic silver with the ability of concanavalin A to interact with both membrane carbohydrates and antibiotic gentamicin. The aim of this study is to investigate the synergistic antibacterial activity of gentamicin combined with ConA/Ag/AgCl-NPs against pathogenic bacteria. Our results confirmed that gentamicin interacts with ConA/Ag/AgCl-NPs, altering their plasmonic resonance properties. The combination of gentamicin with ConA/Ag/AgCl-NPs significantly reduced the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of both, from 0.19 μg/mL and 0.04 μg/mL to 0.02 μg/mL and 0.01 μg/mL, respectively, required to inhibit planktonic
