Preparation of Cellulose Nanocrystals Biofilm from Coconut Coir as an Alternative Source of Food Packaging Material.
Article in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 current perspective emphasizes on the synthesis of a biofilm from cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) of coconut coir for the development of sustainable packaging materials as an alternative source of plastic. The biofilm was prepared by a solvent-casting method and investigated by various analytical techniques. Of them, surface morphology was observed by SEM, suggesting a crystalline rod shape with particle size of 104-318 nm and diameter of 15-70 nm. However, CNC was incorporated with starch at various ratios ranging from 10:0 to 1:9; the ratio 6:4 of CNC and the binder maximized the mechanical properties of the polymer. In the presence of a plasticizer and a cross-linker, the film possessed high tensile strength (38.4 ± 1.57 MPa) and elongation (8.2 ± 0.39%) compared to commercially available polyethylene (9.84 ± 0.32 MPa and 23 ± 0.74%). The biofilm possessed a great extent of cross-link structure, divulging through the change of contact angle (92°), surface morphology (rough surface), crystallinity (45.36%), water vapor transmission rate (427 g/m
