Effect of garlic oil and chitosan coating on preservation of Labeo rohita meat fillets in refrigerated conditions.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fish is an important food source containing high quality proteins, vitamins and minerals. The spoilage of fish meat causes a huge economic loss at local and commercial level that can be minimized with efficient preservation. The demand of natural organic preservatives is increasing in recent years due to the hazardous effects of synthetic preservatives. Among the natural preservatives, essential oils in combination with chitosan have been proved a good edible meat preservative candidate. Consequently, we carried out our work to evaluate the preservative effect of garlic oil and chitosan, both solo and in combination, on refrigerated Rohu (Labeo rohita) meat by following two-factor factorial completely random design (CRD) experimental design. Garlic oil (0 & 1%) and chitosan (0 & 1%) in 2 × 2 interaction was applied on refrigerated fillets of Rohu meat. The methodology involved weekly evaluation of proximate composition, analyses of protein and fats degradation, and investigation of sensory and microbial attributes over a three-weeks preservation period. Results indicated that application of 1% garlic oil in combination with 1% chitosan improved preservation and shelf life of Rohu meat, sufficiently safe for human consumption, up to 14 days without exceeding safety limits of all parameters studied. Therefore, it is suggested that the combination of garlic oil and chitosan may be used as an alternate preservative in refrigerated conditions for Rohu fillets preservation and shelf life extension.
