Microbial biofilm ecology, in silico study of quorum sensing receptor-ligand interactions and biofilm mediated bioremediation.
Review in Archives of microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Biofilms are structured microbial communities of single or multiple populations in which microbial cells adhere to a surface and get embedded in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). This review attempts to explain biofilm architecture, development phases, and forces that drive bacteria to promote biofilm mode of growth. Bacterial chemical communication, also known as Quorum sensing (QS), which involves the production, detection, and response to small molecules called autoinducers, is highlighted. The review also provides a brief outline of interspecies and intraspecies cell-cell communication. Additionally, we have performed docking studies using Discovery Studio 4.0, which has enabled our understanding of the prominent interactions between autoinducers and their receptors in different bacterial species while also scoring their interaction energies. Receptors, such as LuxN (Phosphoreceiver domain and RecA domain), LuxP, and LuxR, interacted with their ligands (AI-1, AI-2, and AHL) with a CDocker interaction energy of - 31.6083 kcal/mole; - 34.5821 kcal/mole, - 48.2226 kcal/mole and - 41.5885 kcal/mole, respectively. Since biofilms are ideal for the remediation of contaminants due to their high microbial biomass and their potential to immobilize pollutants, this article also provides an overview of biofilm-mediated bioremediation.
