1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Bacterial biofilms represent a major driver of persistent infections in animals, productivity losses, and increased antibiotic use. The chronic inflammation and metabolic dysregulation induced by biofilms constitute major predisposing factors for nutritional and metabolic disorders in veterinary settings. Conventional antibiotic therapy is often limited by reduced efficacy and the emergence of resistance in biofilm eradication. Moreover, drug residues and associated metabolic toxicity pose additional risks to animal health and food safety. Plant extracts, characterized by multi-target modes of action, favourable biocompatibility, and metabolic regulatory potential, represent a sustainable strategy for addressing this challenge. This narrative review systematically examines the mechanisms by which plant-derived compounds modulate the formation and dispersal of pathogenic biofilms via direct and indirect pathways.
