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 burgeoning convenience food sector, particularly in China, has intensified demand for packaging that simultaneously delivers convenience, environmental sustainability, and functional performance. This study addresses this need by developing a novel self-sealing, rapidly soluble food packaging film. The film was prepared using solvent casting technology, with a konjac glucomannan (KGM) matrix as the base material and gelatin (Gel) and hydroxypropyl tapioca starch (HS) as reinforcing agents. Leveraging the thermoplastic effect of HS (its hydroxypropyl side chains disrupt the ordered hydrogen bond network of KGM and Gel, enhancing molecular chain mobility) characterization via FTIR and SEM confirmed successful heat-sealing upon HS incorporation, while dissolution testing validated enhanced dissolution kinetics. The optimal formulation (KGH
