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

Active packaging films fabricated from chitosan have recently emerged as a promising candidate for food packaging and preservation. In this study, caffeic acid-grafted inulin (CA-g-In) was successfully prepared as a bioactive additive, and chitosan-based composite films incorporated with different amounts of CA-g-In were developed. The effects of CA-g-In incorporation in modulating the physical, antioxidant and antibacterial functionalities of the films were also explored. The incorporation of CA-g-In significantly increased the tensile strength, elongation at break and opacity of the films. Moreover, the composite films exhibited excellent ultraviolet barrier power, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging ability, reducing capacity and antibacterial activity, which were proportional to the CA-g-In content. Finally, the composite films were evaluated for their practical use in strawberry preservation, achieving reduced strawberry decay and extending strawberry shelf life. The findings indicated that chitosan-based films enriched with suitable content of CA-g-In could serve as effective and eco-friendly packaging materials for food preservation.
