Carbon Dots as Multifunctional Nanofillers in Sustainable Food Packaging: 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 10 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
Food packaging systems play a critical role in reducing resource wastage, extending shelf-life, and enhancing supply chain sustainability. Carbon dots (CDs) have emerged as promising nanofillers for sustainable active and smart packaging due to their exceptional optical properties, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial activity. This review synthesizes recent advances in CD-based food packaging technologies, focusing on their multifunctional applications and performance enhancements. We systematically analyze how CDs improve packaging materials' mechanical strength, gas barrier properties, and functional performance (antioxidant, antimicrobial, and smart sensing capabilities). Current research demonstrates CDs' ability to enable intelligent functions such as pH responsiveness and freshness monitoring while maintaining excellent biocompatibility. However, challenges remain in scaling up production, long-term toxicological evaluation, and matrix compatibility. Future research directions should address these limitations while exploring the full potential of CD-based multifunctional films as sustainable alternatives for next-generation food packaging systems.
