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.
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
The development of antibacterial cotton textiles is of considerable interest for applications in healthcare, hygiene, and protective materials, where limiting microbial proliferation on fibrous surfaces is essential. However, many of the finishing strategies currently reported for cotton rely on metal-based agents or multifunctional synthetic systems, which may raise concerns about environmental impact, uncontrolled release, and long-term durability. In this context, the use of naturally derived bioactive compounds, combined with surface activation methods, represents a promising route toward more sustainable antimicrobial coatings. In this study, cotton fabrics were functionalized with a commercial biobased acrylic resin that contained increasing amounts of rosmarinic acid, a plant-derived polyphenol with recognized antimicrobial activity. The effect of oxygen plasma pretreatment was investigated to assess whether surface activation could improve coating distribution, interfacial adhesion, and functional performance. Resin films and coated fabrics were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy, while antibacterial activity was evaluated against
