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

Bio-based polymers have gained huge attention in the recent past for their application in various domains, especially food packaging. The petroleum-based polymers have a significant negative impact on the ecosystem owing to their non-biodegradability. Therefore, a sustainable yet efficient alternative is required which is both safe and non-toxic. Food packaging technologies with the latest innovations are promoting active and smart packaging applications which promise quick, safe and efficient ways to monitor the quality of stored foods. These materials are being explored in applications such as antimicrobial wraps, moisture barrier coatings, biodegradable trays, and oxygen-scavenging films. Nanotechnology has emerged as a superior alternative as it can enhance food protection while reducing the raw material requirement and waste generation. The present review focuses on the recent developments in active and smart food packaging with special emphasis on bio-based polymer nanocomposites. The various polymer nanocomposites, their properties and safety concerns with respect to food packaging are summarized in this review article besides providing prospects for the current research area.
