Carrageenan: structure, properties and applications with special emphasis on food science.
Review in RSC advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
This comprehensive study examines the versatile applications of carrageenan, a sulphated polysaccharide derived from red seaweeds, across environmental remediation, biomedical sciences, and food technology. The study also explains carrageenan's structural characteristics, physicochemical properties and the three primary types: kappa, iota, and lambda. In wastewater treatment, carrageenan-based materials demonstrate efficacy in removing heavy metals, dyes, and organic compounds through adsorption and flocculation mechanisms. The biomedical potential of carrageenan is explored, highlighting its role in drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and wound healing applications. The review also addresses carrageenan's significance in the food industry as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and preservative. While acknowledging potential drawbacks, including gastrointestinal concerns and environmental impacts of seaweed harvesting, the study presents a balanced analysis of carrageenan's applications. This review underscores carrageenan's potential as a versatile, eco-friendly solution across multiple sectors, contributing to advancements in sustainable technologies and biomedical innovations.
