PLA/PCL Polymer Material for Food Packaging with Enhanced Antibacterial Properties.
Article in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Active food packaging is a significant trend in recent years in the food industry. This paper presents the results of studies on selected properties of a mixture of polylactide and polycaprolactone containing 1 or 5 wt.% of tannic acid. The function of tannic acid was to improve the miscibility of the polymers used and to give the obtained composition antibacterial properties. Studies were carried out on color and transparency, microscopic analysis, water vapor permeability, mass flow rate, static tensile properties, impact strength, dynamic mechanical analysis, thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The obtained results did not confirm the compatibilizing effect of tannic acid, because the obtained mechanical properties were slightly worse than those of materials without the addition of this compound. However, the obtained mixture was characterized as having biocidal properties against two strains of
