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

Active packaging materials based on biopolymers and natural additives represent a significant innovation, offering a sustainable solution of packaging combined with multifunctional bioactive properties to extend the shelf-life of food products. In the present study, bioactive films composed of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and an olive leaf extract (OLE) were fabricated via solvent casting. OLE was used in different concentrations, namely 5 and 10 wt.%, and the films were plasticized with glycerol (20 wt.%). The ensuing homogeneous films are translucent (50% < transmittance <80%, opacity <2.3 mm
