Antimicrobial activity of Origanum vulgare L. essential oil and its effects on fungal gene expression.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Origanum vulgare L. (oregano) essential oil showed strong antimicrobial potential, effectively inhibiting the growth of various microorganisms. In our study, oregano essential oil inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 3.13 µL/mL and Bacillus cereus at 6.25 µL/mL. Peronophythora litchii growth was completely suppressed by oregano essential oil at a concentration of 12.5 µL/mL over a period of 7 days. GC-MS analysis identified carvacrol as the dominant component of the oregano essential oil. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that treatment of P. litchii with oregano essential oil resulted in 9,710 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) compared to the control. GO analysis indicated that these DEGs were primarily associated with glutathione metabolic processes, cytosolic ribosome function, and ubiquitin-like protein peptidase activity. Additionally, KEGG pathway analysis showed significant enrichment in proteasome, ribosome, and oxidative phosphorylation pathways. These findings demonstrate the potent antimicrobial efficacy of oregano essential oil against both bacterial pathogens and P. litchii, highlighting its promise as a natural antimicrobial agent.
