Application of Zinc-Based Metal-Organic Framework ZIF-8 on Paper: A Pilot Study on Visual Appearance and Effectiveness.
Article in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Paper and cellulose-based materials are known for their sensitivity to humidity, which can create stresses among fibres and increase fragility. More importantly, humidity can lead to the formation of mould and stains, compromising both aesthetic value and long-term preservation, particularly for historical documents and books. This study explored the application of in situ prepared Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (ZIF-8), a zinc-based MOF, on paper as a potential antimicrobial material. Hand-made and commercially printed papers were tested to assess the effective deposition and formation of the ZIF-8 network, with a focus on both visual appearance and physicochemical characteristics. X-ray fluorescence and diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy analysis confirmed the successful formation of the ZIF-8 network in all papers. The Zn content varied, as expected, depending on application time and paper characteristics. All treated papers exhibited minor variations in brilliance and showed slightly increased rigidity. The formation of white spots linked to Zn accumulation was observed, particularly in printed books where colourimetric and microscopic variations were more pronounced.
