1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized via a green method from pomegranate peel extract and incorporated into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to produce AgPVA nanofibers through electrospinning. Nanofibers containing different silver concentrations (0.5, 1, and 1.5% Ag) were used as coating materials to coat minced meat, and their effects on various quality parameters during storage at 4 °C were evaluated. FTIR, XRD, SEM, and antibacterial analyses were conducted for the characterization of AgNPs and AgPVA nanofibers. To assess the quality characteristics of the minced meat during storage, pH, color, peroxide, TBARS, and microbiological analyses were performed. The results indicated that silver concentrations up to 1% could delay oxidation in minced meat and help preserve its quality. Compared with the other samples, the samples coated with 0.5% AgPVA (A1) and 1.0% AgPVA (A2) nanofibers exhibited a significant antimicrobial effect at the 6-day storage point (p < 0.05). The migration of AgNPs into minced meat was monitored during storage, and all migration values remained below the European food safety authority (EFSA) safety limit of 0.05 mg/kg, demonstrating the safety of the coatings. These findings suggest that AgPVA nanofibers synthesized via a green method could be a promising approach for extending the shelf life of perishable foods by reducing spoilage.
