Biosafety concept: Origins, Evolution, and Prospects.
Review in Biosafety and health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Biosafety is essential to ensuring the safe and effective conduct of biological research by minimizing risks associated with laboratory work and biological materials. This paper traces the historical and conceptual development of biosafety, from its origins in pathogen containment to its expansion into broader domains. In the modern context, biosafety also involves the regulation of genetically modified organisms and the strengthening of laboratory oversight mechanisms. Biosafety and biosecurity are closely related in origin. Biosafety focuses on biological risks within laboratory environments, while biosecurity addresses biological risks associated with non-laboratory environments. The article summarizes the development of biosafety, extracting the evolution of its conceptual framework from a historical perspective, condenses and compares its scientific characteristics with those of biosecurity, and applies the methodology of science history to define its conceptual framework.
