Recent advances in metal-organic frameworks for antibacterial applications: mechanisms and emerging strategies.
Review in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Bacterial infections represent a significant and ongoing challenge to public health worldwide. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), owing to their distinctive structural features and tunable physicochemical properties, have demonstrated considerable potential in antibacterial applications. Extensive research has been conducted to explore the application of MOFs in antimicrobial contexts. This review systematically examines the underlying antibacterial mechanisms of MOFs, including the release of metal ions, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and physical disruption of microbial membranes. Furthermore, it also discussed the specific applications of MOFs against various bacterial species and evaluates their prospective roles in the development of advanced antibacterial strategies.
