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

This study involved the creation and characterisation of double-layer films based on furcellaran (FUR) and chitosan (CHIT)-furcellaran complexes. Although chitosan films are quite widely described, a double CHIT-FUR membrane with high solubility and water vapour permeability is seldom reported in the literature. In this work, the physicochemical, mechanical and thermal properties of the obtained double-layer films were examined. The structural properties and morphology of the prepared films were presented using FTIR and AFM analysis. The obtained results confirmed the production of double-layer films, the layers of which differed from each other. The characterisation of the obtained films indicated that the 9:1 ratio (complex_9:1) is superior in terms of uniformity and performance. The obtained double-layer films have the potential to replace traditional plastics in food packaging and may also serve as a new material for medicine capsules in the pharmaceutical industry.
