Phage cocktails: state-of-the-art technologies and strategies for effective design.
Review in FEMS microbiology reviews, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
With the growing severity of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), phage therapy has garnered attention as a novel therapeutic alternative. In particular, phage cocktails, which combine multiple phages, potentially offer broader antimicrobial spectra than single-phage applications and may suppress the emergence of resistant bacteria. This comprehensive review systematically examines cutting-edge technologies and effective strategies for designing phage cocktails. Special attention was given to the combination of phages recognizing different receptors, designs based on phage-bacteria infection network analysis, and synergistic effects with antibiotics. Additionally, the analysis of large-scale clinical studies has identified challenges in practical implementation, including ensuring cocktail stability and addressing immune responses. These insights are expected to contribute to the design of more effective phage cocktails and the establishment of novel therapeutic strategies to address AMR.
