Vegetative and microbial proteins for bioplastics applications - a review in the indian context.
Review in RSC advances, 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
The generation of plastic waste is around 400 million tons per year. The non-degradable nature of fossil-derived plastics creates pollution, one of the most concerning environmental challenges faced by society, agencies, and governments today. A promising alternative to plastics is bioplastics. Bioplastics are biopolymer-based plastics derived from biomass or manufactured from the processing of monomers derived from biomass. Proteins are naturally occurring biomolecules that are one of the most suitable natural polymers for making bioplastics. In the form of films, proteins possess various desirable properties such as mechanical strength, gas impermeability, and durability. They are also renewable and easily accessible. Making bioplastics from wasted or unused protein sources is the ideal scenario. This review discusses the opportunities that come along with vegetative and microbial proteins to make bioplastics. It covers various sources for protein extraction, such as gluten, whey, zein, and soy from terrestrial sources and water hyacinth and duckweed from aquatic sources. It also discusses the methods of processing vegetative proteins to make bio-plastic products, the current challenges in employing bioplastics for typical applications, and the prospects to steer us towards a clean and sustainable future.
