Purification strategies and impact of surfactant on bacteriophage stability and aggregation.
Article in European journal of clinical microbiology & infectious diseases : official publication of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bacteriophages are promising bactericidal agents with potential for infection control, but purification methods and long-term storage can compromise their stability. Viral particle aggregation is a known cause of viability loss and may be reduced with surfactants such as Tween 20. This study evaluated the relationship between aggregation and infectivity loss in MS2 and PhiX174 purified by chloroform clarification and PEG concentration, with or without Tween 20, and by Triton X-100, over 55 days. Infectivity and aggregation varied by purification method, but no direct correlation emerged. MS2 and PhiX174 responded differently, indicating that stability protocols must be virus-specific.
