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

Gas sensors present an alternative to traditional off-package food quality assessment, due to their high sensitivity and fast response without the need of sample pretreatment. The safe integration of gas sensors into packaging without compromising sensitivity, response rate, and stability, however, remains a challenge. Such packaging integration of spoilage sensors is crucial for preventing food waste and transitioning toward more sustainable supply chains. Here, we demonstrate a wide-ranging solution to enable the use of gas sensors for the continuous monitoring of food spoilage, building upon our previous work on paper-based electrical gas sensors (PEGS). By comparing various materials commonly used in the food industry, we analyze the optimal membrane to encapsulate PEGS for packaging integration. Focusing on spinach as a high-value crop, we assess the feasibility of PEGS to monitor the gases released during its spoilage at low and room temperatures. Finally, we integrated the sensors with wireless communication and batteryless electronics, creating a user-friendly system to evaluate the spoilage of spinach, operated by a smartphone via near-field communication (NFC). The work reported here provides an alternative approach that surpasses traditional on-site and in-line monitoring, ensuring comprehensive monitoring of food shelf life.
