Bioactive Silk Revolution: Harnessing Curcuminoid Dye and Chitosan for Superior Antimicrobial Defence and UV Shielding.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesThe use of natural colourants is gaining attention due to their biocompatibility and functional benefits. This study introduces a different approach using turmeric (
methodsThe turmeric dye's chemical composition was analyzed using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS), UV-visible spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The dyed silk's colourfastness was tested through rubbing, washing, and light exposure.
resultsThe chitosan-mordanted silk showed strong antibacterial activity against
conclusionsThis work underscores the innovative use of plant-based dye extracts and natural mordants like chitosan as a sustainable alternative to conventional metallic mordants, paving the way for the evolution of bioactive silk with improved functional properties.
