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 registryThe 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.

6 · The paper itselfAbstract
Bacterial biofilms protected by viscoelastic extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are highly resistant to chemical disinfectants and rapidly regenerate after treatment. While bubble-mediated mechanical disruption has emerged as an eco-friendly antifouling strategy, bubbles generated by conventional tools act on biofilm surfaces and fail to disrupt three-dimensional biofilms. Here, we demonstrate that generating bubbles within biofilms, referred to as matrix bubbles, and controlling their dynamics with temperature, enables effective matrix disruption and biofilm removal.
