Challenges in selecting edible coating materials for fruit postharvest preservation and recent advances in edible coating techniques: a review.
Review in Journal of food science and technology, 2025. 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
Fruits are a vital component of a healthy diet, offering essential nutrients and appealing sensory attributes. However, their high perishability leads to significant postharvest losses, which are influenced by factors such as physiological changes, microbial spoilage, and inadequate handling practices. These losses not only reduce fruit quality and marketability but also contribute to increased food waste. Edible coatings have emerged as a promising solution to extend shelf life by forming a protective barrier that reduces moisture loss and prevents microbial spoilage. Despite considerable research into edible coatings, there remains a notable gap in understanding the challenges related to material selection, safety, and scalability. This study critically reviews these challenges and highlights recent advancements in coating technologies. By examining material compatibility, safety concerns, and commercial scalability, the study aims to optimize edible coatings for more sustainable and efficient postharvest fruit preservation.
