Antimicrobials Functioning through ROS-Mediated Mechanisms: Current Insights.
Review in Microorganisms, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 79 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Antibiotic resistance and infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria are global health concerns. Reducing the overuse and misuse of antibiotics is the primary step toward minimizing the antibiotic resistance crisis. Thus, it is imperative to introduce and implement novel antimicrobial strategies. Recently, several alternative antimicrobials targeting oxidative stress in bacteria have been studied and shown to be promising. Oxidative stress occurs when bacterial cells fail to detoxify the excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulated in the cells. Bacteria deploy numerous defense mechanisms against oxidative stress. The oxidative stress response is not essential for the normal growth of bacteria, but it is crucial for their survival. This toxic oxidative stress is created by the host immune response or antimicrobials generating ROS. ROS possess strong oxidation potential and cause serious damage to nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins. Since ROS-based antimicrobials target multiple sites in bacteria, these antimicrobials have attracted the attention of several researchers. In this review, we present recent ROS-based alternative antimicrobials and strategies targeting oxidative stress which might help in mitigating the problem of antibiotic resistance and dissemination.
