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

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) exhibit strong and broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, making them a promising agent for textile applications. However, their weak adhesion to fibers and poor washing durability have hindered practical use. In this work, we report zinc/catechol resin-based microspheres (Zn/CFRs) synthesized via a one-pot hydrothermal route and applied to cotton fabric through a pad-dry-cure process. The resulting Zn/CFRs exhibit a monodisperse spherical morphology, with zinc ions concentrated on the surface and ZnO NPs encapsulated within the resin matrix. The finished fabric demonstrates potent, non-leaching antibacterial activity, achieving over 99.99% inhibition against
