Green Chitosan Bioplastics: How the Filler Impacts the Biological Activity and the Biodegradability?
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 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
The growing environmental plastic pollution triggered research for biodegradable and safe materials, among which biopolymer-based films stand as the most promising. Among these, chitosan has gained significant attention due to its biocompatibility, film-forming ability, and inherent antimicrobial properties. In this context, the use of fillers to design chitosan nanocomposite films has been shown to enhance the mechanical, barrier, thermal, optical, and antimicrobial properties of the resulting bioplastics. However, the fate and destiny of these fillers, as well as their impact on the biological properties and biodegradability of chitosan films, remain underexplored. We herein report a more comprehensive screening of a set of fillers, encompassing three clay variants (montmorillonite, sepiolite, and halloysite) and microcrystalline chitin. The films were systematically characterized to assess their antibacterial performance, cytocompatibility, hemocompatibility, and biodegradability. The highest antibacterial activity was observed for
