Diverse Forage Enhances the Antimicrobial Potency of Australian Honey.
Article in MicrobiologyOpen, 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
Antimicrobial resistance is a critical global health crisis, driving renewed interest in natural alternatives like honey. Australia's diverse native flora offers unique opportunities for producing bioactive honeys, yet their antimicrobial potential remains underexplored. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the antimicrobial activity and chemical composition of Australian honeys from post-bushfire New South Wales landscapes and to identify key drivers of bioactivity and their therapeutic potential. Antimicrobial activity was assessed against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using broth microdilution methods, measuring both total activity and non-peroxide activity. Comprehensive chemical profiling included bioactive compounds, quality parameters, sugars, organic acids, amino acids, volatiles, and secondary metabolites, assessed using standardized methodologies and ¹H-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy. Statistical analyses included correlation analysis, LASSO regression modeling, and principal component analysis. Most honeys exhibited strong antimicrobial activity, with 77% achieving MICs of ≤ 10% (w/w) against both pathogens, and 25% achieving ≤ 5% (w/w) against at least one pathogen. Honeys produced from mixed flora had consistently high levels of antibacterial activity, while monofloral honeys were much more variable. H
