Fabrication of Food-Safe Water-Resistant Paper Coatings Using a Melamine Primer and Polysiloxane Outer Layer.
Article in ACS omega, 2018. 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
Paper-based materials are highly desirable as packaging materials due to their numerous advantages that include low cost, renewability, and biodegradability. However, their hydrophilicity has limited their range of applications. Reported herein is a facile and economical approach for the preparation of biodegradable water-resistant paper for food-contact applications. Commercial printing paper and cup papers are coated with melamine, which is FDA approved for food-contact applications. Subsequently, a water-repellent outer layer is applied using poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-isocyanate. A relationship between the PDMS concentration and water contact angles (WCAs) of the obtained coating was studied. Typically, the coated cup paper and printing paper had coating loadings of 1.61 ± 1.10 and 0.93 ± 0.74 wt %, respectively. After the coatings had been applied, the WCAs were very high (>125°), and water absorption had decreased by 70% for printing paper and by 35% for cup paper. Considering the facile fabrication method and the low-cost food-safe raw materials, herein, this approach will have great potential for the large-scale production of materials for use in food- and nonfood contact applications.
