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

Faced with the environmental crisis caused by plastic waste, recent research has focused on the development of biopolymer-based food packaging films with enhanced properties, among which agricultural byproducts are promising resources. This review comprehensively analyzes the application value of different mango byproducts-peel, seeds, and leaves-in sustainable active packaging films. It evaluates the latest progress in utilizing these wastes: peel phenolics and pectins can enhance antioxidant, UV-protective, and smart pH-responsive properties; seed starch, kernel extracts, and oils can improve mechanical strength, thermal stability, and hydrophobicity; and leaf bioactives exhibit strong antimicrobial functions. This work innovatively synthesizes strategies for extracting these functional components and integrating them into various biopolymer matrices (e.g., chitosan, polylactic acid, starch), demonstrating their efficacy in significantly extending the shelf life of perishable foods. This study highlights mango byproducts as a versatile and environmentally friendly alternative that aligns with circular economy principles and has the potential to transform waste into high-value packaging materials-despite challenges in standardization and scalability.
