Functions and emerging applications of bacteriocins.
Review in Current opinion in biotechnology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 225 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
Bacteriocins, defined as ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides, have traditionally been used as food preservatives, either added or produced by starter cultures during fermentation. In-depth studies of a select few bacteriocins opened exiting new research fields and broadened the application of these antimicrobial peptides. The possibility of developing bacteriocins into next generation antibiotics, accompanied with the rapid development in genetics and nanotechnology, paves the way to even more fascinating applications such as novel carrier molecules (delivery systems) and the treatment of cancer. Also, some bacteriocins are found to regulate quorum sensing which suggests novel applications for this group of substances. While there is some interesting translational research on bacteriocins from Gram-negative bacteria, the majority of application-oriented studies are focused on bacteriocins from Gram-positive microorganisms, mostly lactic acid bacteria. The applications of bacteriocins are expanding from food to human health.
