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
Biofilms remain a major challenge in the food industry due to the increased resistance of foodborne pathogens to antimicrobial agents and food processing stresses, leading to food contamination and significant health risks. Their resistance to preservation techniques, antimicrobial treatments, and processing conditions increases concerns regarding food safety. This review discusses recent developments in physical, chemical, and surface modification strategies to control and remove biofilms in food processing environments. Physical methods, such as thermal treatments, electric fields, and ultrasonic systems, have demonstrated their efficacy in disrupting biofilm structure and improving disinfection processes. Chemical treatments, including the use of sanitizers, disinfectants, acidulants, and enzymes, provide targeted approaches to degrade biofilm matrices and inhibit bacterial adhesion. Furthermore, surface modifications of food contact materials provide innovative solutions for preventing biofilm formation and enhancing food safety. These cutting-edge strategies not only improve food safety but also reduce contamination risk in food processing facilities. The review highlights the mechanisms, efficacy, and applicability of these techniques, emphasizing their potential to mitigate biofilm-associated risks and ensure food quality and safety.
