The promise of low-intensity ultrasound: A review on sonosensitizers and sonocatalysts by ultrasonic activation for bacterial killing.
Review in Ultrasonics sonochemistry, 2021. 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
Antimicrobial resistance has become one of the main public health issues in modern society. Ultrasonicantimicrobial treatment (UAT) is expected to solve the problem of antimicrobial resistance since ultrasonic treatment does not cause drug resistance during inactivation. However, the ultrasonic application is hindered due to the high energy cost. To cast more lights on the ultrasound in tandem with catalysts as a superior strategy for bacterial inactivation, the present review focuses on the UAT with the assistant of continuous development of organic sonosensitizer and inorganic sonocatalyst. With the application of these nanomaterials, the ultrasonic parameters changed from low-frequency and high-power ultrasound to high-frequency and low-power ultrasound. The review also presents the composition of sonosensitizers/sonocatalysts including organic and inorganic nanoparticles and discusses the ultrasonic activation mechanisms triggered by these catalysts. Based on the synergistic effect of ultrasound and catalysts, we discuss the importance of extracellular oxidation and intracellular oxidation in the process of bacterial inactivation. Overall, UAT combined with catalysts appears to be an effective treatment strategy that can be successfully applied in the field of medicine, environmental treatment, and food industry.
