Alginate/aloe vera films reinforced with tragacanth gum.
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 6 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
The objective of present study was to investigate the effect of incorporation of varying concentrations (2% to 14%) of Tragacanth gum (TG) to alginate/aloe vera composite films to enhance their functional properties. The resulting films were investigated for their mechanical, barrier, optical properties and biodegradability. The WVP, swelling capacity and thickness of films increased significantly by the addition of TG while film solubility was dropped at higher concentration of TG. It was observed that TG acted as an efficient reinforcing agent for enhancing the strength and flexibility of the films. The tensile strength (TS) of films increased more than threefold as compared to control, reaching a maximum value 67.64 N/mm
