Antibacterial Effects of Nanobubble Water and Its Potential Application in Healthcare-associated Infection Control.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimHealthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain a major cause of morbidity in hospitalized patients and residents of long-term care facilities. Conventional chemical disinfectants have limitations such as corrosion, toxicity, and economic burden. This study investigated the antibacterial properties of nanobubble water (NBW) as a novel physicochemical disinfection method that does not require chemical additives. MATERIALS AND
methodsNBW was generated using four gases-air, nitrogen (N
resultsGenerated nanobubbles measured 50-100 nm in diameter and were stable over time. NBW exhibited intrinsic, time-dependent antibacterial effects that were independent of the solvent or dissolved gas itself. Antibacterial activity was more pronounced at lower bacterial loads and differed by gas type and bacterial species: N
conclusionNBW generated using relatively safe and inexpensive gases (excluding ozone, which is known to be cytotoxic) exerts reproducible antibacterial activity against diverse bacterial species, including resistant strains. However, its lack of rapid disinfectant action suggests that NBW is better suited for long-term immersion rather than short-contact disinfection. These findings support NBW as a potential safer and cost-effective strategy for immersion-based infection control and mitigation of antimicrobial resistance.
