Development and Application of a Novel 'Green' Antibacterial Black Garlic (

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
Research background: Black garlic has been reported to have several health-promoting properties compared to fresh, raw garlic. The enzyme alliinase, which converts alliin to allicin, is deactivated at moderately high temperature, thus stripping away the typical pungent odour of fresh garlic during fermentation and rendering black garlic devoid of the typical garlic-like smell. To date, the antimicrobial activity of alliin-rich extract obtained from black garlic powder has not been reported. The objectives of this study are to explore the antibacterial/antifungal activity of alliin-rich black garlic extract against Experimental approach: Authenticated fresh garlic ( Results and conclusions: Soxhlet extraction of pulverized black garlic cloves using distilled water yielded an alliin-rich extract (6.4 mg/100 g garlic), which also contained additional bioactive organosulfur compounds with no reported toxicity. The antimicrobial potency (in terms of its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)) of the extract was evaluated against potent skin pathogens and was found to be ~15 µg/mL. The nanogels formulated with the alliin-rich extract showed shear thinning rheology and admirable sensory properties when tested by a panel. The Novelty and scientific contribution: This study is the first to report on a newly developed 'green' nanogel containing antimicrobial bioactive compounds, namely, organosulfur compounds (diallyl disulfide, diallyl trisulfide, methyl-allyl-disulfide and methyl-allyl-trisulfide). The nanogel showed promising epidermal wound-healing properties and is therefore promising in clinical applications against common and potent human skin pathogens.
