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 study investigates the effect of gamma irradiation on the physicochemical, mechanical, and antimicrobial properties of biodegradable composite films based on modified cassava starch/gelatin (GS) and wheat gluten/gelatin (GG), including their active formulations with 2% potassium sorbate (GS2S and GG2S, respectively). Films were produced by casting and irradiated at 2-32 kGy. Irradiation modulated the structure-property relationships of starch-protein matrices in a dose-dependent manner. In GG systems, tensile strength increased while elongation decreased, indicating enhanced intermolecular interactions. At higher doses (16-32 kGy), excessive rigidity was observed, whereas lower doses (2-8 kGy) provided a more favorable balance between strength and flexibility. Water vapor permeability decreased in selected formulations, while solubility results indicated the coexistence of crosslinking and chain scission mechanisms. Among the tested conditions, 2 kGy was identified as the optimal dose. Despite the incorporation of 2% potassium sorbate, antimicrobial performance remained limited, with modest inhibition against
