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

Polymer brush coatings offer a promising strategy for combating bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation in medical devices. However, a detailed molecular understanding of how different brush chemistries interact with bacterial membranes remains incomplete. In this study, we use coarse-grained steered molecular dynamics and umbrella sampling simulations to investigate the interaction and translocation process of four methyl methacrylate-derived polymers: pDMAEMA (weak cationic), pMETAC (strong cationic), pMEDSAH (zwitterionic), and pSPMA (anionic), through a bacterial outer membrane (OM) model of
