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 paper highlights the importance of chitosan's intrinsic parameters on its performance as a film. Fungal (FC) and crustacean (CSC) chitosans with similar molecular weight (400 kDa) and different deacetylation degrees (FC DDA = 84.2%; CSC DDA ≈ 75%) were utilized to elaborate eco-friendly and functional chitosan-based films (C-films). The physicochemical properties as well as bioactivities were evaluated. Results showed that DDA was positively correlated with the zeta potential of the film-forming solutions. Furthermore, the FC films showed a decrease in moisture and swelling levels by about 20%, accompanied by a slight drop in qualitative hydrophobicity. On the other hand, the antibacterial activity of FC film was significantly stronger against Gram-negative bacteria compared to CSC film. Additionally, the C-films considerably mitigated the adherence of
