A critical review of natural quorum-sensing inhibitors as molecular anti-virulence agents against phytopathogenic bacteria.
Review in Archives of microbiology, 2026. 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
Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-density-dependent communication process that allows phytopathogenic bacteria to synchronise pathogenicity, mobility, secretion systems, and biofilm development. These signalling networks are pivotal in the progression of plant diseases and serve as promising targets for non-toxic anti-virulence approaches. Prominent quorum-sensing systems in plant-associated bacteria include acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL), diffusible signal factor (DSF), and virulence factor-modifying (VFM) pathways, each regulating distinct pathways involved in pathogenesis. The existing understanding of the molecular structure, signal production, perception, and subsequent control of these quorum-sensing systems in significant phytopathogens, including Pseudomonas syringae, Ralstonia solanacearum, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Burkholderia glumae, and Dickeya spp., is consolidated. The focus is on quorum-quenching techniques, encompassing enzymatic signal degradation and the influence of natural quorum-sensing inhibitors sourced from plants and microbes, which interrupt communication while preserving bacterial survival. Recent advancements in biochemical characterisation, genomics, and nanotechnology-based delivery technologies are evaluated for their potential to enhance stability and field usability. Collectively, targeting QS-mediated control is a sustainable alternative to traditional agrochemicals, providing exciting opportunities for environmentally friendly approaches to controlling bacterial plant diseases.
