Recent Advances in Functional Nanomaterials for Enhancing Biopolymer-Based Active Food Packaging: A Review.
Review in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Food packaging serves a pivotal role in daily life, facilitating the efficient transportation of food and extending its shelf life. Petroleum-derived plastic packaging is extensively employed; however, its non-biodegradable nature poses significant environmental pollution and ecological degradation. Natural polymers (e.g., proteins such as gelatin and corn gluten protein; polysaccharides including pectin, chitosan, starch, cellulose, and alginate) and synthetic polymers (e.g., polyvinyl alcohol, polylactic acid, and polyhydroxyalkanoates) can be utilized to fabricate food packaging films, thereby achieving green and eco-friendly objectives. Nevertheless, the inferior mechanical strength and inadequate antibacterial activity of biopolymer-based packaging have restricted their practical applications. In recent years, nanomaterials (e.g., nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanofibers, and nanosheets) have been employed to enhance the performance of food packaging, emerging as a research hotspot. Notably, nanoparticles possess unique properties, including a high specific surface area, excellent dispersibility, and multifunctionality, which enables them to be easily incorporated into film matrices. Owing to their unique chemical structures, nanoparticles form strong interactions with film matrices, leading to a denser spatial structure. This not only markedly enhances the mechanical strength of the films, but also simultaneously improves their antibacterial and antioxidant capabilities. This review classifies and summarizes common nanomaterials based on their chemical compositions, providing a theoretical foundation and technical reference for the future development and application of nanomaterials in the field of bio-based active food packaging.
