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

Cotton fabrics are widely used in the textile industry due to their comfort and versatility; however, their high moisture absorption makes them highly susceptible to fungal growth, leading to material degradation and hygiene concerns. In this study, a durable antifungal coating for 100% cotton woven fabric was developed using sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) as a low-toxicity and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional antifungal agents. SNPs were synthesized following chemical precipitation to evaluate their suitability for textile functionalization. The treated fabrics were prepared using the exhaustion method to ensure effective nanoparticle uptake and distribution within the fibre structure. Antifungal performance was assessed against
