The Application of Natural Phenolic Substances as Antimicrobial Agents in Agriculture and Food Industry.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Natural phenolic substances have emerged as promising alternatives to synthetic antimicrobials in both agriculture and the food industry, where concerns over microbial resistance and chemical residues are rising. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current literature, highlighting the potential of these compounds as effective antimicrobial agents. A systematic evaluation of in vitro and in vivo studies was conducted, focusing on the efficacy of various phenolic compounds against a range of pathogens. The analysis revealed that natural phenolics not only inhibit microbial growth but also enhance the shelf life and safety of food products and protect crops from disease. Moreover, although laboratory results are promising, the translation of these findings into practical applications requires further investigation. Overall, the evidence supports the potential for natural phenolic substances to serve as integral components in sustainable agriculture and food preservation strategies.
