The structure and extraction of silk fibroin and its applications in fruit and vegetable preservation: a review.
Review in Food chemistry: X, 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
In response to increasing global demands for enhanced food safety and quality, the development of safe and efficient postharvest preservation technologies has emerged as a critical research priority in agricultural sciences. Silk fibroin, a naturally derived biopolymer, demonstrates remarkable potential for fruit and vegetable preservation owing to its exceptional biocompatibility, biodegradability, and film-forming capabilities. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the structural characteristics of silk fibroin and elucidates its preservation mechanisms in horticultural products. Special emphasis is placed on the application of silk fibroin-based edible coatings and active packaging systems. Furthermore, we examine the synergistic interactions between silk fibroin and other natural preservatives. The article concludes with a critical discussion of current research controversies and proposes future research directions, thereby offering valuable insights for advancing both fundamental research and practical applications of silk fibroin in postharvest management.
