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

Potato is a widely consumed staple crop prone to postharvest deterioration and quality loss. Biodegradable edible coatings offer an eco-friendly alternative to conventional packaging for extending shelf life. This study evaluated the effectiveness of whey protein concentrate (WPC) based coatings, with and without chitosan, in maintaining potato quality under different storage conditions and durations. Tubers were treated with WPC coating (WC1) or WPC-chitosan coating with additives (WC2) and stored at room temperature (RT, 24 °C), refrigeration (RF, 4 °C), or incubator (IC, 20 °C) for up to 48 days. Dry matter (DM), firmness (FR), and total soluble solids (TSS) were determined every 8 days. DM ranged between 17.3-20.7%, FR between 5.6-8.1 N, and TSS between 3.4-5.3 °Brix. Storage period (SP) had the strongest influence, with DM peaking after 16-24 days, FR gradually decreasing, and TSS dropping sharply after 32 days. Coating did not significantly affect DM, but WC2 improved FR retention while slightly lowering TSS. RF best preserved FR and TSS, whereas RT and IC accelerated quality loss. Overall, WPC-based coatings, particularly WC2, provide a biodegradable and effective strategy to reduce postharvest losses, maintain potato quality, and support sustainable food preservation.
