Evaluating the Effect of an Essential Oil Blend on the Growth and Fitness of Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria.
Article in Biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has necessitated the exploration of alternative antimicrobial agents, particularly natural products like essential oils. This study investigated the antibacterial potential of a unique blend of four essential oils (EOB) across a gradient of concentrations (0.1 to 50%) against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria using an adapted broth microdilution method, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs), and 24-h growth assays. The Gram-positive bacteria were
