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

Preserving fresh meat has been a long-standing challenge due to microbial growth and lipid oxidation. In this study, chitosan (CS) active coatings loaded with blackberry anthocyanins (BA), tea polyphenols (TP), and their combination, designated as CS/BA, CS/TP, and CS/BA/TP, were applied for chilled pork preservation. Compared to CS coating alone, CS/BA/TP coating exhibited a 9.3% lower total viable count (TVC), a 45.5% reduction in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and a 26.6% decrease in total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) after 12 days of storage at 4°C. Furthermore, the combined use of TP and BA exhibited a synergistic effect, with the most pronounced impact observed in oxidative stability, while also improving microbial inhibition and maintaining color stability. These results highlight CS/BA/TP coatings as a promising natural preservative for extending chilled pork shelf life.
