A comprehensive analysis of the kinetics of infection of lytic bacteriophages specific to the ESKAPE and critical pathogens.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Bacteriophages are ubiquitous particles that are able to infect bacterial and archaeal cells and may serve as an antimicrobial agent. Herein, a scoping review of strictly lytic bacteriophages infecting bacteria belonging to the ESKAPE group and critical pathogens is proposed in order to summarize information about their biological characteristics in vitro. The data collected herein will be useful for the rapid in vitro characterization of newly isolated phages, facilitating their likely effective use in phage therapy and allowing them to be compared with previously described phages of the same specificity. Data were obtained from original, peer-reviewed, full-length scientific articles published between 1998 and 2025, available in the PubMed database, focusing on the analysis of phage infection kinetics (adsorption rate and parameters derived from one-step growth experiments). However, additional features, including morphology of their plaques (like the presence or absence of a ‘halo’ effect), type of morphology of phage virions or lytic spectrum have also been included, in order to relate acquired data regarding to phage replication cycle kinetics to the mentioned phage characteristics.
