Application of Chitosan and Its Derivatives in Postharvest Coating Preservation of Fruits.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Postharvest preservation of fruits is one of the key issues in the current agriculture and food processing industry. Surface coating treatment, a promising technology for postharvest fruit preservation, has gathered significant attention due to its ability to reduce water loss, regulate gas exchange, and inhibit respiration, thereby achieving postharvest fruit preservation. Among them, chitosan-based coating has a wide application prospect due to its superior film-forming capability, high biosecurity, wide range of sources, etc. This review summarizes the structural features, physicochemical properties, modification strategies, and preservation mechanisms of chitosan-based coatings, focusing on their applications in postharvest fruit storage. Unlike prior works, it highlights advanced modifications (e.g., nanocomposite, multifunctional grafting) that enhance antimicrobial activity, mechanical strength, and environmental adaptability. Challenges in fruit preservation-such as microbial resistance and stability-are analyzed, with solutions proposed via material innovation. The discussion on industrial scalability emphasizes chitosan's biodegradability, cost-effectiveness, and alignment with sustainable agriculture, while addressing technical bottlenecks. This work bridges fundamental research and practical use, advancing chitosan-based coatings toward greener, safer, and scalable postharvest solutions.
