Edible Packaging as a Functional Carrier of Prebiotics, Probiotics, and Postbiotics to Boost Food Safety, Quality, and Shelf Life.
Review in Probiotics and antimicrobial proteins, 2024. 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
The safety limitations of chemical preservatives led to an increasing trend among industries and customers toward preservative-free foods; hence, the necessity has arisen for developing innovative, safe antimicrobial elements to prolong the shelf life. Beneficial microorganisms that are described as probiotics and also their metabolites are increasingly being considered as bioprotective agents. These microorganisms could be beneficial for extending food shelf-life and boosting human health. During distribution and storage (25 °C or 4 °C), they could contribute to suppressing unwanted microbes and then improving food safety and quality. Also, by tolerating the harsh conditions of gastrointestinal tract (low pH (~3), presence of bile salts, digestive enzymes, competition with other microbes, etc.), probiotics could exert several biological effects at the host. Besides inclusion in foods and supplements, probiotics and their functional metabolites could be delivered via edible packaging (EP). Recent studies have demonstrated the strong potential of pre/pro/post-biotic EP in food biopreservation. These packaging systems may show different potency of food biopreservation. Among others, postbiotics, as metabolic by-products of probiotics, have gained tremendous attention among researchers due to their unique properties like presenting a variety of antimicrobial activities, convenience in use in different industrial stages and commercialization, extended shelf life, and stability in a wide range of pH and temperature. In addition to antimicrobial activities, various bio-EP could differently influence physical or sensorial attributes of food commodities, impacting their acceptance by consumers. Hence, this study is aimed at presenting a comprehensive review of the application of bio-EP, not only by providing a protective barrier against physical damage but also by creating a controlled atmosphere to improve the health and shelf life of food.
