Polyacetylenes as antibacterial, antibiofilm, and anti-quorum-sensing agents: Sources, chemistry, bioactivities, and
Review in Saudi pharmaceutical journal : SPJ : the official publication of the Saudi Pharmaceutical Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria now poses significant challenges, rendering many conventional medicines ineffective and necessitating the search for new antimicrobial agents. Polyacetylenes, both natural and synthetic, possess diverse biological activities, with their remarkable antibacterial potential being particularly significant. This review offers an in-depth evaluation of the therapeutic roles of polyacetylenes as antibacterial, antibiofilm, and anti-quorum-sensing agents, summarizing the tested compounds, their natural sources, the assays employed, and the bacterial strains investigated. It also provides an overview of their biosynthesis, distribution, and pharmacokinetic properties, along with a comprehensive analysis of their chemical classification and
