The interactions between antimicrobial materials and bacterial membranes.
Review in Frontiers in chemistry, 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
Microbial contamination of surfaces in everyday use is an on-going challenge to prevent and eradicate. Furthermore, rapidly growing resistance of microorganisms to many drugs and disinfectants also poses a significant challenge in the design of more effective materials for managing such critical areas as food safety, aged care and agricultural, veterinary and clinical settings in general. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are the primary line of defence of the innate immune system against invading microorganisms and act by binding to and disrupting the outer membranes of microbial cells. Antimicrobial biomaterials also have the potential to transform the current management of microbial contamination. Various polymer-based antimicrobial materials have been developed and many of these are designed to mimic the cationic properties of AMPs or with AMPs grafted onto a polymer template. These antibacterial materials therefore act by membrane disruption. This review provides an overview of the field of antimicrobial materials with a focus on the impact of these materials on bacterial membrane, and aim to provide a timely overview of the molecular mechanism of action of these materials.
