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

The growing global production of plastic, which reached 460 million tonnes in 2022 and has projections of 5.4 million tonnes of waste by 2050 without intervention, has created a severe environmental crisis that demands the development of sustainable alternatives. In this context, this study aims to characterise biodegradable films based on cassava starch and gellan gum, combining microstructural and mechanical properties with the evaluation of thermo-optical parameters. An important advance was the pioneering application of a self-normalised photoacoustic technique, used for the first time to measure thermal diffusivity (0.0013 ± 0.0002 cm
