Bacteriophage-mediated antibacterial and photodynamic therapies.
Review in RSC medicinal chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 threatens global health, with multidrug-resistant pathogens causing millions of deaths annually. Conventional antibiotics face limitations due to bacterial biofilms, resistance mechanisms, and host toxicity. Bacteriophages, due to their high specificity, hold great potential in antimicrobial therapy, targeted drug delivery. In recent years, advances in chemical biology and nanomaterials science have led to the continuous refinement of surface chemical modification strategies for bacteriophage capsids, providing robust support for their functional expansion. This review summarizes commonly employed bacteriophage surface modification techniques, including both covalent and non-covalent approaches, and categorizes various types of photosensitizers along with their recent progress in antimicrobial applications. Furthermore, it highlights recent studies on bacteriophage-photodynamic synergistic therapy systems in treating bacterial infections and discusses their application prospects and future directions in the field of precision antimicrobial therapy.
