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

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most pressing global public health threats, responsible for millions of deaths annually. To tackle this issue, additive manufacturing has been increasingly exploited to fabricate structured antimicrobial platforms with precise control over composition, geometry, and release kinetics. This review covers the most relevant approaches across different scales, from dip-pen nanolithography and inkjet printing to 3D and 4D printing, emphasizing the role of nanoscale confinement, microenvironmental control, and interfacial chemistry as key design parameters. Polymeric matrices, metal and metal oxide nanostructures, and theranostic platforms are discussed in relation to their fabrication-dependent properties, including material stability, ageing, and translational challenges. Finally, stimuli-responsive architectures, phototherapeutic strategies, and artificial intelligence-driven design are outlined as emerging tools toward next-generation antimicrobial materials.
