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

Biocoatings are typically colloidal polymer films confining metabolically active, nongrowing bacteria. Depending on the species of confined bacteria, biocoatings find applications in wastewater treatment, biofuel production, carbon fixation, environmental remediation, biosensing, and more. However, the successful use of biocoatings faces numerous challenges, including a low permeability to reactants and metabolized products, osmotic stress on bacteria during drying of the coatings, and cell dehydration leading to bacteria death. Here, we address these challenges through two interlinked processing methods. (1) Coagulant gelation of the colloidal polymer dispersion creates a porous microstructure with high permeability. (2) Wet sintering by immersion in a liquid medium reduces osmotic stress and avoids desiccation of the bacteria. In a model system of
