Protein-Polysaccharide Bilayer Films: Influence of Protein and Cross-Linker on Interfacial and Functional Properties.
Article in Biomacromolecules, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Self-supporting bilayer films were produced by combining a protein (casein or gelatin) and a polysaccharide (carboxymethylcellulose, CMC). Effective interfacial interactions, achieved either physically (primarily via electrostatic interactions) or chemically (with citric acid and 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) as cross-linkers), granted improved mechanical and functional performance. Gelatin layers exhibited strong adhesion across different pH values (3, 4.5, and 8), indicating a minimal role of electrostatic forces in interlayer interactions. In contrast, casein required the incorporation of tannic acid (TA) into the CMC layer as a compatibilizing agent to achieve effective adhesion. Polysaccharide cross-linkers were evaluated in casein-CMC bilayers, where citric acid reduced the water absorption, while BTCA improved water vapor barrier properties but decreased mechanical resistance. Understanding interfacial interactions enables the design of biobased materials with tailored properties, boosting competitiveness and functionality within the circular bioeconomy.
