Protein and polysaccharide edible coatings: A promising approach for fruits preservation - recent advances.
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 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
Biodegradable packaging, especially edible coatings (EC) for fruit preservation, is a sustainable and eco-friendly approach. ECs, such as polysaccharides and proteins, are widely used in fruit preservation, with a preference for polysaccharides in coating studies. Fundamental EC properties include barrier properties, tensile strength, elongation at break, and UV blocking. Extra materials such as antimicrobial agents, antioxidants, anti-browning agents, and antagonistic microorganisms enhance EC benefits. ECs impact fruit metabolism by reducing malondialdehyde production and enhancing the activities of key enzymes. However, extra materials at high concentrations affect the bonding network of the EC and weaken its structure. Therefore, selecting an appropriate concentration of extra materials is crucial to ensure adequate preservation and safety without affecting sensory properties. Combining coating materials and extra materials to reduce fruit metabolism, maintain fruit quality, inhibit damage pathogens, prevent browning, and provide antioxidants would be an excellent way to promote the green potential of fruit preservation approaches.
