Alternatives to Conventional Antibiotic Therapy: Potential Therapeutic Strategies of Combating Antimicrobial-Resistance and Biofilm-Related Infections.
Review in Molecular biotechnology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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
Antibiotics have been denoted as the orthodox therapeutic agents for fighting bacteria-related infections in clinical practices for decades. Nevertheless, overuse of antibiotics has led to the upsurge of species with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) or multi-drug resistance. Bacteria can also grow into the biofilm, which accounts for at least two-thirds of infections. Distinct gene expression and self-produced heterogeneous hydrated extracellular polymeric substance matrix architecture of biofilm contribute to their tolerance and externally manifest as antibiotic resistance. In this review, the difficulties in combating biofilm formation and AMR are introduced, and novel alternatives to antibiotics such as metal nanoparticles and quaternary ammonium compounds, chitosan and its derivatives, antimicrobial peptides, stimuli-responsive materials, phage therapy and other therapeutic strategies, from compounds to hydrogel, from inorganic to biological, are discussed. We expect to provide useful information for the readers who are seeking for solutions to the problem of AMR and biofilm-related infections.
