Quorum Sensing: Not Just a Bridge Between Bacteria.
Review in MicrobiologyOpen, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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 study of quorum sensing (QS) has gained critical importance, offering insights into bacterial and microorganism communication. QS, regulated by autoinducers, synchronizes collective bacterial behaviors across diverse chemical signals and target genes. This review highlights innovative approaches to regulating QS, emphasizing the potential of quorum quenching and QS inhibitors to mitigate bacterial pathogenicity. These strategies have shown promise in aquaculture and plant resistance, disrupting QS pathways to combat infections. QS also provides opportunities for developing biosensors for early disease detection and preventing biofilm formation, which is critical to overcoming antimicrobial resistance. The applications of QS extend to cancer therapy, with targeted drug delivery systems utilizing QS mechanisms. Advancements in QS regulation, such as the use of nanomaterials, hydrogels, and microplastics, provide novel methods to modulate QS systems. This review explores the latest developments in QS, recognizing its significance in controlling bacterial behavior and its broad impacts on human health and disease management. Integrating these insights into therapeutic strategies and diagnostics represents a pivotal opportunity for medical progress.
