Development and Characterization of Chitosan-PVA-Tannic Acid Film for Extended Shelf Life and Safety of Food Products.
Article in ACS omega, 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 growing demand for sustainable food packaging has led to the development of biobased and biodegradable materials that minimize the environmental impact of conventional plastics. This study introduces an eco-friendly thin film incorporating tannic acid (TA) into a chitosan-poly-(vinyl alcohol) (CPT) matrix to preserve fresh garlic. The film, produced through solvent casting, was thoroughly characterized using several analytical techniques. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed strong molecular interactions and increased crystallinity, which enhanced the material's compatibility and structural integrity. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed a surface roughness of 0.167 nm, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated thermal stability up to 463°C. The CPT film exhibited notable antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Aspergillus niger. Packaging trials showed that the film effectively extended garlic freshness for 24 days. These findings suggest that the CPT film offers a promising solution for sustainable packaging by combining active food preservation with real-time quality monitoring.
