Injectable Phage-Loaded Microparticles Effectively Release Phages to Kill Methicillin-Resistant
Article in ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The increasing prevalence of bacterial multidrug antibiotic resistance has led to a serious threat to public health, emphasizing the urgent need for alternative antibacterial therapeutics. Lytic phages, a class of viruses that selectively infect and kill bacteria, offer promising potential as alternatives to antibiotics. However, injectable carriers with a desired release profile remain to be developed to deliver them to infection sites. To address this challenge, phage-loaded microparticles (Phage-MPs) have been developed to deliver phages to the infection site and release phages for an optimal therapeutic effect. The Phage-MPs are synthesized by allowing phages to be electrostatically attached onto the porous polyethylenimine-modified silk fibroin microparticles (SF-MPs). The high specific surface area of SF-MPs allows them to efficiently load phages, reaching about 1.25 × 10
