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
Fruit preservation after harvest is one of the key issues in current agriculture, rural areas, and for farmers. Using chitosan to keep fruits fresh, which can reduce the harm caused by chemical preservative residue to human health. It also helps avoid the disadvantages of the high cost of physical preservation and the challenges associated with difficult operation. This review focuses on the application progress of chitosan in fruit preservation. Studies have shown that chitosan inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi, and delays fruit aging and decay. Furthermore, it can regulate the respiration and physiological metabolism of fruit, helping to maintain its quality and nutritional value. The preservation mechanism of chitosan includes its antibacterial properties, film-forming properties, and its effects on the physiological processes of fruit. However, in practical applications, issues such as determining the optimal concentration and treatment of chitosan still require further research and optimization.
