Preserving and utilizing microbial diversity for innovation and sustainability.
Review in Microbiology (Reading, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Microbial culture collections have been fundamental to microbiology since their inception in the late nineteenth century. Initiated by Professor Král, the collections preserve and distribute microbial strains, enabling scientific advancements. Over time, they evolved into microbiological resource centres, integrating taxonomic expertise and adhering to international legal frameworks and quality management systems. Legal frameworks, including the Nagoya Protocol and biosecurity regulations, ensure ethical access and use of microbial resources. Regional networks, such as Microbial Resource Research Infrastructure - European Research Infrastructure Consortium at the European level, or, in the future, the Global Biological Resources Centres Network, coordinate efforts, fostering innovation and collaboration. Today, microbial culture collections support biotechnology, personalized medicine, agriculture and environmental sustainability. They also play a crucial role in public education, addressing misconceptions about microbes. As research progresses, these collections will continue to contribute to scientific discovery, bioeconomic growth and solutions to global challenges such as climate change, food security and ecosystem health.
