Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This paper reports the meta-regressions for pooled inhibition diameters revealed different bacterial susceptibilities.

The detailed model for inhibition diameter as a function of MIC in the case of Citrus and Origanum showed inversely correlated was interesting.

The subject matter and data are interesting.

Author Response

The authors gratefully acknowledge the availability to review our manuscript and appreciate that the reviewer found the subject matter and data interesting.

As no specific comments and suggestions were provided, we revised the manuscript and updated the sections with the goal of improving them, either by adding one or more references where needed, or by making the speech clearer.

Reviewer 2 Report

Meta-analysis of the in-vitro antimicrobial capacity of extracts and essential oils of Syzygium aromaticum, Citrus L., and Origanum L.

Title

Good initiative. However, the title of the article doesn’t reflect the main purpose of this investigation partially as it mainly focuses on the comparison and correlation between inhibition zone diameters and MIC of different plant extracts and essential oils.

Abstract

Make the introductory portion more informative.

Clarify a single objective of this study in the conclusion part.

Introduction

It's well-organized but includes the reference more specifically.

Materials and Methods

Line 110-116: Make the AND, OR in small letters.

Results and Discussion

1. Why author selected these tree plants for this study as they are not from related species. Is there any specific reason or just random selection for Meta-analysis?

2. Author can mansion the solvent type of plant extract regarding the study and can show the correlation or effect of solvent on the ultimate output of bacterial inhibition. 

3. There is no information on the bacterium referred to in the manuscript.
