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

Conversion of agro-waste into carbon dots (CDs) transforms biomass into sustainable nanomaterials, enabling advanced applications in packaging and ensuring food safety. Bambara groundnut pericarp powder (BGPP) was hydrothermally processed at 200°C for varying durations (3-12 h) to synthesize BGP-CDs. BGP-CDs exhibited differences in size (1.34-15.02 nm), shape, and chemical composition, as characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses. All samples exhibited excellent optical properties, including photoluminescence and UV barrier capability. Notably, BGP-CDs/3 (synthesized for 3 h) at 100 µg/mL demonstrated the highest UV-blocking efficiency against UV-A (35.62%) and UV-B (92.64%) lights. BGP-CDs synthesized for 12 h exhibited remarkable antimicrobial activities against selected species (Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus parasiticus) due to their nanoscale size; however, their reduced size negatively impacted human cell viability. Antioxidant activity was highest in BGP-CDs synthesized for 6 h (BGP-CDs/6), as determined by different assays. Incorporating BGP-CDs/6 (4%, w/w) into gelatin/polylactic acid (PLA) bilayer film enhanced UV and water barrier properties, antioxidant capacity, and antibacterial efficacy compared to the control film. Additionally, Asian seabass slices (AS-S) packaged in pouches made from active bilayer film had the maintained color with negligible pH change. Microbial growth and lipid oxidation in AS-S were retarded as indicated by the lower rise in total viable count (TVC) and psychrophilic bacterial count (PBC) as well as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values over 12 days of storage at 4°C. Thus, the developed multifunctional packaging film offers an innovative strategy that could impede the quality loss of perishable fish slices.
