Recent Advances in the Preparation, Antibacterial Mechanisms, and Applications of Chitosan.
Review in Journal of functional biomaterials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Chitosan, a cationic polysaccharide derived from the deacetylation of chitin, is widely distributed in nature. Its antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity have given it extensive uses in medicine, food, and cosmetics. However, the significant impact of variations in the physicochemical properties of chitosan extracted from different sources on its application efficacy, as well as the considerable differences in its antimicrobial mechanisms under varying conditions, limit the full realization of its biological functions. Therefore, this paper provides a comprehensive review of the structural characteristics of chitosan, its preparation methods from different sources, its antimicrobial mechanisms, and the factors influencing its antimicrobial efficacy. Furthermore, we highlight the latest applications of chitosan and its derivatives across various fields. We found that the use of microbial extraction shows promise as a new method for producing high-quality chitosan. By analyzing the different physicochemical properties of chitosan from various sources and the application of chitosan-based materials (such as nanoparticles, films, sponges, and hydrogels) prepared using different methods in biomedicine, food, agriculture, and cosmetics, we expect these findings to provide theoretical support for the broader utilization of chitosan.
