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

The wearing of contact lenses (CLs) may cause bacterial infections, leading in turn to more serious complications and ultimately vision impairment. In this scenario, the first step is the adhesion of tear proteins, which provide anchoring points for bacterial colonization. A possible solution is the functionalization with an antimicrobial coating, though the latter may also lead to sight obstruction and user discomfort. In this study, adipic acid dihydrazide-modified hyaluronic acid-cobalt (II) (HA-ADH-Co) nanogels (NGs) were synthesized and deposited onto commercial CLs in a single-step sonochemical process. The coating hindered up to 60 % the protein adsorption and endowed the CLs with strong antibacterial activity against major ocular pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, reducing their concentration by around 3 logs. Cytotoxicity assessment with human corneal cells demonstrated viabilities above 95 %. The nanocomposite coating did not affect the optical power and the light transmission of the CLs and provided enhanced wettability, important for the wearer comfort.
