1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Petroleum-based plastics are used as packaging materials because of their low cost and high availability; however, continuous use of these nondegradable materials especially in the food industry has led to environmental pollution. The present study aimed to synthesize antibacterial and biodegradable films based on natural biopolymers carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and ascorbic acid (AA) cross-linked in the presence of glutaraldehyde (GA). The films were synthesized in two different concentrations, 60PVA:40CMC:AA and 70PVA:30CMC:AA with a fixed amount of AA. Films with smooth texture and overall uniform thickness were obtained. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the cross-linking between the aldehyde group of GA and hydroxyl of PVA through detection of acetal and ether bridges. The synthesized films were thermally stable in the temperature range of 180-300 °C; however, 70PVA:30CMC:AA showed higher weight loss in this range as compared to the 60PVA:40CMC:AA film. Soil burial test demonstrated that the 60PVA:40CMC:AA film was more degradable (71% at day 15) as compared to the 70PVA:30CMC:AA film (65% at day 15). The films exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive
