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

This research explores synthesis of silver-salicylic acid nanoparticles (AgNPs-SA) and their integration with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to form CMC-AgNPs-SA and with chitosan to form Ch-AgNPs-SA. The effects of these composite materials were evaluated in terms of microbiological activity, storage performance, physicochemical attributes, and shelf-life extension of 'Fajri Klan' mangoes fruits at 13 °C. The synthesized AgNPs-SA was confirmed to be spherical, with sizes between 20.9 and 33.4 nm and a zeta potential of -20 mV. Additionally, CMC-AgNPs-SA, and Ch-AgNPs-SA demonstrated comparable antibacterial efficacy against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Over the storage period, cold-stored mangoes exhibited gradual increased in weight loss, respiration rate, and higher levels of total soluble solids (TSS), total sugars, and carotenoids. However, these changes were more pronounced in the uncoated samples (control). The application of CMC-AgNPs-SA and Ch-AgNPs-SA helped maintain fruit quality, suppressed decay, and extended shelf life. Although firmness and titratable acidity (TA) naturally declined with time, the coated mangoes retained these qualities better than the control group. Based on these findings, CMC-AgNPs-SA and Ch-AgNPs-SA show strong potential as effective coatings for preserving fruit quality and prolonging the storage duration of 'Fajri Klan' mangoes.
