Bacterial outer membrane and cell wall penetration and cell destruction by polluting chemical agents and physical conditions.
Review in Science progress, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
In the environment, bacteria and other microorganisms are subjected to a variety of constantly changing chemical and physical agencies. Chemical ones include antimicrobial compounds (both biocides and antibiotics), pollutants, drugs, cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredients and pesticides. The physical agents include desiccation and drying, osmotic pressure, hydrostatic pressure, temperature and pH changes and radiations (ultraviolet, sunlight, ionizing). Bacteria must thus adapt to survive these inimicable conditions. Organisms such as bacterial spores usually survive, whereas other types of microorganisms may be much more susceptible. Depending on the type of organism, the bacterial cell wall, outer membrane or the spore outer layers may act as permeability barriers to the intracellular uptake of antibiotics and biocides. Some antibacterial agents interact with, and damage or modify, the outer components. Physical agencies are known to damage the cytoplasmic membrane or to produce alterations in DNA or proteins or enzymes. Nevertheless, significant damage to the cell wall or outer membrane may also occur. Four types of organisms are considered: cocci, mycobactria, Gram-negative bacteria and bacterial spores. The nature of the damage inflicted on, or in some cases prevented by, their outer cell layers is discussed for each type of organism.
