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

Background/purpose: Candidiasis is the most common oral fungal infection. Several medications have been introduced to manage this infection. This study investigated the antifungal effect of caffeic acid and nano-caffeic acid. Materials and methods: The size and particle dispersion index (PDI) of caffeic acid-containing niosome vesicles were measured after their production. The zeta potential was measured using a Zetasizer Nano ZS, and the amount of nano-caffeic acid released from the vesicles was measured. Results: The optimal formulation had 100 mg Tween 60, 100 mg Span 60, 200 mg cholesterol, a size of 271.83 ± 3.11 nm, a PDI of 0.21 ± 0.02, a zeta potential of 5.58 ± 0.47 mV and an encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of 42.34 ± 4.34%. The size, absolute zeta potential and EE% increased significantly with increasing cholesterol content from zero to 200  mg ( Conclusion: According to the MIC
