Biopolymer and Carnauba Wax Coating for Improved Paper Oxygen Barrier, Water Vapor Barrier, and Grease Resistance.
Article in ACS applied materials & interfaces, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 is essential to avoid food waste, which is a major contributor to global emissions. The vast majority of food packaging materials are made from petroleum-derived plastic, contributing substantially to the plastic waste crisis. Cellulosic paper is a biobased and biodegradable alternative packaging material, but its use is limited by its extremely poor barrier to oxygen, water, water vapor, and grease, all of which contribute to early degradation of food products. Typical coatings for paper are unsustainable and inhibit its biodegradability. In this work, a water-based, fully bioderived polyelectrolyte complex coating consisting of chitosan, pectin, and carnauba wax is applied to kraft paper to improve its resistance to oxygen, water, and grease. After a thermal annealing step, the coatings exhibit continuous phases of wax and polyelectrolytes, resulting in a combination of both oxygen and water resistance. The best-performing coating substantially improves oxygen transmission rate (from 12.5 million to 155,000 cm
