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

Exhibiting significant potential for sustainable packaging due to their renewability and biodegradability, soy protein isolate (SPI) films are nevertheless critically hampered by inherent brittleness, poor water resistance, and a lack of bioactivity. Herein, we demonstrate a hierarchical multi-network strategy that transforms SPI into a high-performance, functional biocomposite. A robust covalent backbone was forged via Schiff base cross-linking between SPI and dialdehyde cellulose nanocrystals (DACNCs) derived from agricultural biomass, while proanthocyanidins (PAs) were strategically incorporated to create a secondary, pervasive hydrogen-bonding network. This hierarchical architecture effectively overcomes the typical trade-offs between mechanical strength and functionality seen in singly modified biopolymers, unlocking a suite of remarkable performance enhancements. The optimized film exhibited a 491% increase in tensile strength (to 15.54 MPa) and elevated thermal stability to 330 °C. Critically, the film was endowed with potent functionalities, including complete UV-blocking, high antioxidant capacity (93.2% ABTS scavenging), and strong, broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. The film's practical efficacy was validated in a preservation test, where the coating extended blueberry shelf life by inhibiting fungal spoilage and reducing weight loss by nearly 30% relative to uncoated controls after 15 days of storage. This work provides a powerful framework for developing advanced biocomposites with tailored properties for active food packaging and beyond.
