Sorry for the newbie question, but I have been trying to resolve the problem of citations not showing up with texstudio. Below is a sample of my tex code
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage[table,xcdraw]{xcolor}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{chemfig}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=mla]{biblatex}
\restylefloat{table}
\bibliography{EnzymeLabCitation}
%opening
\title{Sample Title}
\author{Me}
\date{}
\begin{document}
This is an example sentence with citation \cite{Polysaccharides}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
with the following in the file EnzymeLabCitation.bib

abstract = {Advanced stages of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancers (PCs) are very serious diseases with very poor prognosis. Therefore, identification of reliable and specific biomarker(s) at early stages of the diseases could be key to their early prevention and therapy. In this chapter, currently used and putative biomarkers of acute and chronic pancreatitis and PC are summarized. Total serum lipase and/or amylase are most widely used biomarkers of acute pancreatitis; lipase assay being more sensitive and specific than that of amylase. Imaging technologies provide key support for the diagnosis of both acute and chronic pancreatitis. Biomarkers of chronic pancreatitis are poorly developed and remain challenging because of impaired secretory components of exocrine pancreas. The focus of future clinical diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis and PC lies in identification of biomarkers using omics and microRNA arrays along with imaging technologies in well-defined experimental models and their validation in patients diagnosed with various stages of chronic pancreatitis and PC.},

With this, the document simply shows the word Polysaccharides instead of the citation, and the title 'Works Cited' does show up, but not the sources. I have been trying to run it in overleaf, and no luck either. I am quite confused and would appreciate all help (I am using Texstudio as the main text editor).
\bibliography{EnzymeLabCitation}with\addbibresource{EnzymeLabCitation.bib}and then run a full recompile cycle -- LaTeX, biber, and LaTeX once more. (Use the instructions in @ivan's comment to alternate between LaTeX and biber.) – Mico Mar 21 '21 at 14:15.bibfile that you actually\cited get added to the bibliography. If you want to add entries without citing, use\nocite{<entrykey>}(to let<entrykey>appear in the bibliography) or\nocite{*}(to have all entries from the.bibfile appear in the bibliography). – moewe Mar 21 '21 at 14:43main.tex, the log file's name ismain.log.) – Mico Mar 21 '21 at 14:47\nocite. If you add new citations to your.texfile, you need to compile again as explained by Ivan. Maybe you can update your question with the code changes you did and show a screenshot of the output. – moewe Mar 21 '21 at 15:14TeXLive 2020. – Mico Mar 21 '21 at 16:20biblatex-mladoes not support the@miscentry type (see e.g. https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/377460/35864 and https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/369696/35864). That is a very odd choice, so I would probably try to avoidbiblatex-mla(not least because I find MLA style itself a bit odd). If you must usebiblatex-mla, you could try\DeclareBibliographyAlias{misc}{online}but the results aren't that great either. (It gets slightly better withstyle=mla-newinstead ofstyle=mla.) – moewe Mar 21 '21 at 16:37biblatexstyle supports@misc, so my go-to choice would be something likestyle=authoryear,. I'd only usebiblatex-chicagoif Chicago style is required. – moewe Mar 21 '21 at 18:06
