Food packaging films from natural polysaccharides and protein hydrogels: A comprehensive review.
Review in Food chemistry: X, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
The development of innovative, biodegradable food packaging materials to combat plastic pollution has garnered significant attention from scholars and government agencies worldwide. Natural polysaccharides and proteins exhibit excellent modifiability, biodegradability, high ductility, and compatibility with food products, making them ideal candidates for constructing hydrogels. Hydrogel films based on these biopolymers have opened new research horizons in food packaging applications. This review examines natural polysaccharides and proteins commonly used in hydrogel film preparation and explores strategies to improve their packaging performance, including the use of binary mixtures and exogenous additives. To optimize functionality, the cross-linking mechanisms between materials and film-forming methods are summarized. Additionally, recent applications of hydrogel films in food packaging in are discussed, showcasing their ability to extend or monitor food freshness. Despite existing challenges, the current advancements present a promising and sustainable alternative to conventional plastic materials paving the way for innovative packaging solutions.
