Colorimetric Food Freshness Indicators for Intelligent Packaging: Progress, Shortcomings, and Promising Solutions.
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 23 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
The colorimetric food freshness indicator (CFFI) is a promising technology in intelligent food packaging, offering the capability for real-time monitoring of food freshness through colorimetric changes. This technology holds significant promise in mitigating food waste and enhancing transparency across the supply chain. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the classification system for the CFFI, encompassing colorimetric films and sensor arrays. It explores their applications across key perishable food categories, including meats, seafoods, fruits, and vegetables. Furthermore, this paper offers an in-depth analysis of three critical challenges currently hindering technological advancement: safety concerns, stability issues, and limitations in sensitivity and selectivity. In addressing these challenges, this paper proposes forward-looking solutions and outlines potential research directions aimed at overcoming these bottlenecks, thereby fostering substantial progress in the development of this field.
