Incorporation of Edible Plant Extracts as Natural Food Preservatives: Green Extraction Methods, Antibacterial Mechanisms and Applications.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The review article critically evaluates the application of edible plant extracts as natural preservatives in food systems, with a particular focus on environmentally sustainable extraction methodologies. It examines green extraction methods designed to enhance the yield of bioactive compounds responsible for plants' strong antibacterial properties. The biochemical mechanisms underlying antibacterial activity are studied, namely disruption of bacterial cell walls and membranes; inhibition of metabolic enzymes; interference with nucleic acid synthesis; induction of oxidative stress; and suppression of quorum sensing, biofilm formation, efflux pumps, and β-lactamase activity, along with standardized methodologies for efficacy assessment and extracts' incorporation into food matrices. Recent research demonstrates the potential of plant extracts to extend the shelf life of meat, seafood, dairy, and fresh products while meeting consumer demand for clean-label products. Although large-scale application remains limited due to challenges, future research should focus on optimizing green extraction approaches, establishing standardized evaluation protocols, and developing regulatory frameworks to facilitate their safe and sustainable use in the food industry.
