Heterofunctional Cationic Polyester Dendrimers as Antibacterial Agents: The Role of Internal and External Charges.
Article in Biomacromolecules, 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
Antimicrobial resistance is a global health crisis, necessitating novel antibacterial strategies. Polycations, particularly polyester dendrimers, are promising due to their structural precision and membrane-disruptive mechanisms. However, existing dendrimers lack versatility in charge distribution, limiting their antibacterial efficacy. Here, we report two families of cationic polyester dendrimers (up to the third generation) with either internal or combined internal and external charges compared with traditional bis-MPA dendrimers bearing only external cations. These heterofunctional dendrimers, built from AB
