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

This study introduces an innovative strategy for active, biodegradable food packaging through the incorporation of gamma-decalactone (GDL), a natural aromatic compound with antimicrobial properties, into apple-pectin-based edible films. The addition of GDL significantly modified the film structure, resulting in enhanced light barrier properties (the opacity increased from 1.10 to 8.64 a.u./mm), a more porous microstructure (confirmed by SEM), and reduced tensile strength (from 13.84 to 5.68 MPa). The films also exhibited lower water vapour sorption (from 1.45 to 0.80 g/g dry matter (d.m.) and increased gas permeability. FTIR analysis confirmed interactions between GDL and the polymer matrix. The films with GDL added exhibited antimicrobial properties against various microbial species, such as bacteria, yeasts, and moulds. A 5% addition of GDL to the coating completely inhibited the growth of
