Capturing the micro-communities: Insights into biogenesis and architecture of bacterial biofilms.
Article in BBA advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Biofilm is an assemblage of microorganisms embedded within the extracellular matrix that provides mechanical stability, nutrient absorption, antimicrobial resistance, cell-cell interactions, and defence against host immune system. Various biomolecules such as lipids, carbohydrates, protein polymers (amyloid), and eDNA are present in the matrix playing significant role in determining the distinctive properties of biofilm. The formation of biofilms contributes to resistance against antimicrobial therapy in most of the human infections and exacerbates existing diseases. Therefore, this field requires several state-of-the-art techniques to fully understand the 3-D organization of biofilms, their cell behaviour and responses to pharmaceutical treatments. Here, we explore the assembly and regulation of biofilm biogenesis in the context of matrix components and highlight the significance of high-resolution imaging and analysing techniques for monitoring complex biofilm architecture. Our review also emphasizes the novelty and advancements in techniques to visualise biofilm structure and composition, providing valuable insights to understand biofilm-related infections.
