Antibiofilm potential of plant extracts: inhibiting oral microorganisms and
Article in Frontiers in dental medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: A range of disinfectant mouthwashes are available for oral hygiene. The gold standard is Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX), which, like other available products, cannot be used without side effects in the long term. However, in recent years, therapy with herbal products, often considered antiquated, has regained considerable interest. Therefore, the search for plant compounds as an alternative to existing oral disinfectants is meaningful. Methods: In this study, eleven Mediterranean plant extracts were tested for their antimicrobial effect Results: All extracts, except the methanol extract of Discussion: The study's hypothesis that all extracts would exhibit an antimicrobial effect was thus confirmed.
