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

Strawberries face marketing challenges due to their short post-harvest shelf-life, largely impacted by shrivelling, weight loss, fungal decay, and mechanical damage. Neem oil (NO) is known for its shelf-life extension benefits; however, encapsulation is needed to maintain its efficacy. This study aimed to stabilize and encapsulate NO in a polymeric and lipid material to preserve the quality of strawberries stored at 4 ± 1 °C, 80 ± 2% RH for seven days. After seven days, the nanoparticle-coated fruits showed a weight loss of around 5.9% with niosomes and 8.9% with starch nanoparticles, while the control had a significant 32.45% weight loss. Additionally, both nanoparticle coatings significantly (
