Factors affecting sericin hydrolysis and application of sericin hydrolysate in sericin films.
Article in RSC advances, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Sericin is a natural protein and a by-product obtained from silk processing. To enhance the antioxidant properties of sericin, sericin hydrolysis was studied. The solvent effects (distilled water, citric acid and hydrochloric acid) and hydrolysis methods (heat treatment (water bath) and mild ultrasonic treatment at 20%, 40% or 60% amplitude) were investigated on the properties of sericin hydrolysate (SH). Furthermore, solvent effects (distilled water and 15% ethanol) were examined for the properties of the sericin films incorporated with selected SH. The SH samples from acid hydrolysis and the ultrasonic method had a darkened visual appearance. However, the degree of hydrolysis and antioxidant activity of SH increased with ultrasonic-assisted acid hydrolysis. The molecular weight (MW) of sericin was notably reduced. As expected, hydrochloric acid hydrolysis resulted in a lower MW for the SH than from citric acid. Thus, SH from hydrochloric acid and 20% amplitude in the ultrasonic method were selected to produce a sericin film. As revealed, using distilled water as a general solvent provided films with lower solubility and water vapor permeability but higher tensile strength. Furthermore, the addition of SH enhanced the antioxidant properties of its hydrolysate as a novel protein packaging film material for various applications.
