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

To solve the problems that poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) easily breeds bacteria and swells in a humid environment, PVA and ZnO nanopillar (ZnO NP) components were composed to generate PVA/ZnO NP composite films via a simple combination process of blending and heat treatment in this study. Here, ZnO NPs endowed composite films with good antibacterial properties, and the etherification and dehydration of hydroxyl groups between PVA molecular chains induced by heat treatment resulted in the composite films having excellent water-swelling resistance. Most importantly, PVA/ZnO NP composite films revealed excellent tensile strength in both humid (52.85 MPa) and dry (74.63 MPa) environments. In addition, PVA/ZnO NP composite films showed good antibacterial and antisepsis abilities as well as preservation functions in the packaging test of half-cut apples. The current work disclosed an easy strategy for producing a PVA-based antibacterial film for packaging materials that are water-resistant and highly strong, making them suitable for applications in humid environments.
