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
Background: Methods: Studies on phages and Results: A total of 264 studies were included. There is an increasing trend in the number of publications per year from 2010 to 2024. China was the leading country with 35.98% of the total publications. Tzu Chi University and Lin, Nien-Tsung were the most influential institution and author, respectively. The journal with the highest H-index was Frontiers in Microbiology, and Viruses-Basel was the most prolific journal. Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy was the most cited journal. Phages endolysin and phage therapy were found to be the widely researched aspects, biofilm, phage resistance and synergistic effect are recent research hotspots. Conclusion: In the last decade or so, this is the first bibliometric study that systematically describes the research hotspots and development trends on phages in
