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

Surgical-site infections (SSIs) represent a significant healthcare burden, often complicating wound healing and recovery. To overcome the limitations of systemic antibiotic administration, such as toxicity and poor localization, this study aimed to develop a bioactive dressing utilizing bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) impregnated with gentamicin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (GNP). Chitosan nanoparticles were synthesized via ionic gelation with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) and optimized using a one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) approach to control particle size, polydispersity index (PDI) and zeta potential. The optimized nanoparticles were impregnated into BNC disks, and the resulting composite was characterized using FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, XRD and SEM. Antimicrobial efficacy was evaluated against
