Distinct sub-MIC kill kinetics of Cu and Ag in
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 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
Copper and silver are well-known and widely used antimicrobial metals that are often considered to employ diverse, overlapping biocidal mechanisms of action, and induce corresponding bacterial defense responses. Exposure to antimicrobial metals at concentrations below the minimal inhibitory concentration (sub-MIC) is widespread in natural, clinical, and built environments, and may influence microbial survival dynamics that could have implications for tolerance or resistance development. By analyzing growth and kill kinetics IMPORTANCE: Copper and silver are widely used metals with antimicrobial properties that are often considered to employ diverse, overlapping biocidal mechanisms of action, and corresponding bacterial defense responses. Here, we show that sub-minimal inhibitory concentration (sub-MIC) copper causes lasting, dose-dependent growth inhibition of
