Sulfur-Containing Microbial Natural Products and Their Role in Communal Interactions.
Review in Journal of natural products, 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
Natural products remain a primary source of new chemical entities and a central medium of biological communication. Among them, sulfur-containing natural products from microbes stand out for their diverse motifs─such as thioether (S-Cα/β/γ), thiazole, and sulfonate groups─distributed across RiPPs, NRPs, PKs, lipids, terpenoids, and hybrids. These sulfur-containing metabolites functionally contribute to communal interactions─intra- and interspecies microbe-microbe and microbe-host interactions─through their antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, and immunomodulatory activities. Crucially, they may act as information-rich signals that tune quorum circuits, biofilms, membrane and ion homeostasis, and host pathways. This review provides a structure- and mechanism-guided overview of sulfur-containing natural products reported over the past decade (2014-2025), covering their microbial sources, chemical diversity, as well as mechanisms of action and emphasizing how sulfur functionality encodes interaction strategies from host microbiomes to environmental systems.
