Extending the Shelf Life of Strawberries: Physicochemical and Antibacterial Effects of Carboxymethyl Cellulose and Gelatin Coatings With Lemon Essential Oil.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Edible coatings are a thin layer of substances that are put on the surface of food. This work was designed to investigate strawberry coating prepared of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), gelatin (G) enriched with lemon essential oil (LEO) in various concentrations (0.5%, 1.5%, 3%), on the antimicrobial characteristics, shelf life, physicochemical, and sensory properties of strawberries preserved for 16 days at 4°C ± 1°C and an RH of 85% ± 5%. It was found that adding LEO to the CMC + G coating inhibited yeast and mold growth as well as decreased weight loss. The total flavonoid (TF), total phenol content (TPC), ascorbic acid, and antioxidant activity (AOA) all decreased slowly. Furthermore, the CMC + G + LEO combination reduced fruit deterioration due to respiration-related cell wall degradation and delayed titratable acidity (TA); pH changes, as well as losses of the fruit's total soluble solid (SS), were decreased. Likewise, the simultaneous use of CMC, G, and LEO in the sensory assessment (texture, flavor, appearance, and over all acceptance) improved aroma and appearance in the sensory assessment of the current research employing CMC + G + LEO 3%. It also proved to be efficient in reducing firmness loss, total flavonoids, ascorbic acid, TPC, and AOA in strawberry fruits compared with the uncoated.
