Virucidal Efficacy of Organic Acids and Plant Essential Oils.
Article in Food and environmental virology, 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
Currently, the predominant commercially available disinfectants and sanitizers are formulated with active ingredients including alcohol, halogenated compounds (e.g., sodium hypochlorite), surfactants, oxidizing agents (eg., hydrogen peroxide), and quaternary ammonium compounds. Natural products represent an alternative since they are often effective microbicides and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) due to their long history of use. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of several organic acids and plant essential oils against three bacteriophages (MS2, ΦX174, PR772) with different genome characteristics (e.g., RNA versus DNA, single-stranded versus double-stranded) and against an enveloped and non-enveloped mammalian virus (human coronavirus 229E and feline calicivirus, respectively). The active components of essential oils (carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, thymol) and organic acids (acetic, salicylic, tartaric) demonstrated virucidal activity against the three bacteriophages (typically 1.00 log
