Preparation, characterization and application of chitosan/thyme essential oil composite film.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
In order to prepare a chitosan-based antibacterial film with excellent mechanical properties and study its properties, the tape casting method was used to prepare the composite film from chitosan, glycerin and thyme essential oil. Through single factor test and response surface optimization test, the tensile strength and elongation at break were used as response indicators to prepare the composite film with better mechanical properties, and the physical properties, water vapor permeability, solubility and bacteriostasis of the composite film were measured, and the characterization of the microstructure of the composite films. The results showed that the optimized composite film ratio was 1.5% chitosan, 0.5% glycerol, 0.5% thyme essential oil, 18.69 MPa tensile strength, 19.01% elongation at break, 2.52 g/h·m
