Effects of ultrasonic/microwave-assisted treatment on the properties of corn distarch phosphate/corn straw cellulose films and structure characterization.
Article in Journal of food science and technology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Edible films were casted using aqueous solutions of corn distarch phosphate (CDP, 3 wt%) and corn straw cellulose (CSC, 0.5 wt%). The effects of ultrasonic, microwave and ultrasonic/microwave-assisted treatment on mechanical properties and light transmittance, as well as the water vapour permeability (WVP) of edible films, were evaluated. It was found that corn distarch phosphate/corn straw cellulose (CDP/CSC) films treated using ultrasonic waves/microwaves for a certain condition has a distinct increase in tensile strength, elongation at break and light transmittance and a drastic decrease in WVP. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that the surface and cross-section morphology of CDP/CSC films after ultrasonic/microwave-assisted treatment were smoother, denser and without a notable phase separation compared with control films. The results of mechanical properties and barrier properties were in agreement with the changes in molecular interactions detected by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. These findings indicate that ultrasonic/microwave-assisted treatment can improve the application of biodegradable films.
