Biopolymer based edible coating for enhancing the shelf life of horticulture products.
Article in Food chemistry. Molecular sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
As per the report of the United Nations, half of the fruits and vegetables loses annually. Industries are trying to reduce the postharvest loss by using coatings. Wax coating is the most preferred way to preserve fruits and veggies. Sometimes wax is mixed with some chemical compounds that are known to be carcinogenic. Recently many edible films have been developed using natural polymers to enhance the shelf life of food. The edible films act as a barrier between the food and the external environment to prevent the direct interaction of food with atmospheric gases and microbes, which reduce the rate of respiration, keeping the food fresh for an extended period. But, the cost of edible biofilms is high and restricted at the industrial level; the local fruits and vegetable vendors are not able to buy such costly biofilms. We have developed the solution for dip-coating and nanofiber coating using a blend of silk fibroin, PVA, honey and curcumin, which is a cost-effective method for fruits and vegetable vendors. The material used for coating is FDA approved. The techniques utilized for synthesizing the biofilm are electrospinning and dip-coating. Coating found to increase the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables.
