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
This study explores the enhancement of silicone-based fouling release coatings through the incorporation of graphene oxide and silver nanoparticles. Laboratory tests demonstrated significantly improved microfouling resistance with increasing nanoparticle concentrations while maintaining surface energies within the optimal range for fouling release. During a 7 month marine field immersion trial, only the silver nanoparticle-containing composite coating exhibited improved antifouling efficacy over time, while the performance of the graphene oxide-containing composite coating was comparable to the simplified nonbiocidal fouling release coating. Both composite coatings showed a slightly earlier onset of macrofouling. Microscopy revealed notable nanoparticle agglomeration and localized algal attachment, emphasizing the need for improved dispersion and surface integration. Though the addition of nanoparticles for boosting antifouling efficacy with both biocidal and fouling release strategies showed only marginal improvements, clear evidence of enhanced performance is seen. Advancing this technology demands targeted control over nanoparticle distribution and leaching, which are key challenges that must be addressed to unlock the full potential of next-generation, sustainable antifouling coatings.
