Biocontrol and Nanotechnology Strategies for Postharvest Disease Management in Fruits and Vegetables: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Postharvest losses in fruits and vegetables, estimated at 20-50% globally, undermine food security and economic stability. Biological control agents (BCAs), including bacteria, yeasts, and fungi, are emerging as eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic fungicides. This review comprehensively analyzes advances in BCAs for postharvest disease control and highlights their mechanisms, impacts on produce quality, and integration into sustainable systems. Additionally, this review delves into the innovative role of nanotechnology-enhanced BCAs (Nano-BCAs), emphasizing nanoencapsulation, improved biofilm formation, targeted delivery, and antimicrobial synergy. While promising, Nano-BCA application requires risk assessment, regulatory clarity, and cost-effective scalability. This synthesis aims to guide future research and application toward sustainable, safe, and efficient postharvest disease management.
