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

Endoscope reprocessing is a time-consuming, multi-step process, and ongoing microbial surveillance is necessary to ensure effective reprocessing and safe storage. Despite this, traditional surveillance methods, such as cultures, are not often carried out due to time and cost constraints, providing only delayed end point results from specific locations, with no insight into biofilm formation, disinfection efficacy, or any variability related to device design. Within this study, the efficacy of plasma activated water (PAW) disinfection (and subsequent regrowth) within endoscopic test pieces was investigated using bacterial bioluminescence enabling real time and
