Preparation and Application of Edible Chitosan Coating Incorporating Natamycin.
Article in Polymers, 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
In this paper, edible composite coatings, which used chitosan (CTS) as the matrix material, glycerol as the plasticizer, and natamycin as the antibacterial material, were prepared and composite films were prepared by a casting method. Taking cherry tomatoes as the research models, the optimal preservation effect of the composite coating was achieved using 10 g/L CTS, 2.5 g/L glycerol, and 125 mg/L natamycin under conditions of 25 °C and 50% RH. The thickness, transparency, water vapor transmittance (WVT), tensile strength (TS), and elongation at break (EB) of composite film were measured and the results showed the film prepared using 10 g/L CTS, 2.5 g/L glycerol and 125 mg/L natamycin was the best. The direct application of the optimal coating to cherry tomatoes kept the cherry tomatoes valuable for 20 days. The weight loss rate and hardness loss rate were reduced by 22.13% and 12.55%, respectively. The total soluble solid (TSS) content and vitamin c (Vc) content were increased by 2.54% and 20.35%, respectively. The malondialdehyde (MDA) content and peroxidase (POD) activity were decreased by 19.38% and 28.03%, respectively. Based on the significant preservation effect of the composite coating, it is expected to be widely used in the preservation of fruits and vegetables with skin morphologies similar to cherry tomatoes.
