1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In response to the ongoing challenges associated with natural enzymes, their high production costs, low stability and limited functionality; nanozymes have rapidly emerged as versatile alternative. Such nanocatalysts, based on nanomaterials and nanostructures, offer remarkable tunability of physicochemical properties and excellent durability, and adapt themselves effectively to the requirements of modern biotechnological applications. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the use of naturally occurring iron oxide nanoparticles, produced by magnetotactic bacteria, and to highlight their emerging role as key elements in the development of the new generation of nano-guided biosensors. It provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis of publications in the Web of Science database between 2022 and August 2025, conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. The aim was to assess the current state of the art and identify knowledge gaps in the exploration and application of magnetotactic bacteria as natural and sustainable sources in the design of next-generation biosensors. The natural nanoparticles, formed through biological processes, represent a unique and sustainable alternative to synthetic nanoparticles, offering naturally mimetic enzymatic activity, high biocompatibility, and exceptional stability. This approach opens up revolutionary perspectives in the field of biosensors, proposing a new class of functional materials, iron nanoparticles of biological origin, capable of fundamentally changing the performance, sustainability and reliability of future nanoenzymatic sensing platforms.
