Biodegradable Starch-Based Films Incorporating Banana and Orange Waste for Agricultural Application.
Article in ACS omega, 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
Bananas and oranges are widely produced and consumed around the world, but peels and bagasse's are considered inedible and are typically discarded. The development of bioplastics is one way to reuse this waste. This study aimed to produce biodegradable films from thermoplastic starch, banana peel and orange bagasse waste for use in soil mulching and temporary plant packaging. Soluble starch, glycerol and deionized water were used to prepare the films by casting, incorporating different blends of the fruit wastes previously dried and ground. Several analyses were performed on the fresh and powdered wastes and on the developed films. The results suggest the beginning of a degradation process in all films, without negatively influencing seed germination, which ranged from 57 to 100%. Application simulations were satisfactory. Our study demonstrates the benefits of recycling organic waste in the development of biodegradable films, promoting circularity and avoiding resource loss.
