Biodegradable Pectin/Starch-Based Films Applied on Fresh Pears.
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
Packaging composed of polysaccharides has emerged as an alternative to petroleum-based commercial products. Thus, this research aimed to develop, optimize, characterize, and apply biodegradable pectin/starch-based films for fresh pears. All film-forming formulations were characterized. Digital images and optical properties suggest stable, transparent, and efficient ultraviolet (UV) blocking films, especially UVC-UVB and partially UVA. Thermal analysis indicated significant mass loss at high temperatures (above 250 °C). The films were permeable to water vapor (0.305-0.255 g × mm/h × m
