Exploring Potential Use of Banana Peel Extract (Musa Species) as a New Polymer to Create Sustainable Materials and Innovative Drug Delivery Applications: An Updated Review.
Review in Recent advances in drug delivery and formulation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction/ Objective: The Musa genus, which includes bananas and plantains, offers a natural source of polymers. These polymers are finding applications in various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, where they are used as drug delivery systems. Additionally, Musa species are used in the creation of biopolymer composites, which are eco-friendly materials, and in the production of nanocellulose, a nanomaterial with promising properties. The versatility of Musa species makes it a valuable resource for developing sustainable materials and exploring new applications. This review aims to highlight recent advances in the applications of bio-polymers, biocomposites, nanocellulose, and novel drug delivery systems using Musa species.
methodsThe review likely examines existing literature, research studies, and experimental findings related to Musa species. It may analyze the characterization, treatment, and fabrication techniques of Musa species for these applications.
resultsThe multifaceted role of Musa species is emphasized, including its contribution to pharmaceutical advancements, eco-friendly polymer production, and innovative nanocellulose applications.
conclusionIn summary, this review paper explores how Musa species can be harnessed for various technological and scientific purposes, particularly in the fields of biopolymers, biocomposites, and drug delivery systems. The tropical plant's versatility and significance are underscored throughout the review.
