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

An active intelligent packaging film (COL/CS/ZnO/ATH) was developed based on a collagen (COL), chitosan (CS), and nano-ZnO composite matrix, incorporating anthocyanins (ATH) extracted from red cabbage as a natural pH-sensitive indicator. FT-IR analysis and molecular docking revealed that the film's structure is governed by hydrogen-bonding interactions among ATH, collagen, and chitosan. The COL/CS/ZnO/ATH film exhibited excellent barrier properties, and high thermal stability, along with notable antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Compared with COL/CS film, the tensile strength, DPPH radical free, and ABTS radical free scavenging rate of the COL/CS/ZnO/ATH film had increased by 11.18 MPa, 71.09%, and 73.54%, respectively. Additionally, the film exhibited sensitive responses to both pH and ammonia variations. Application of the film to fish preservation demonstrated its efficacy, extending the shelf life by approximately 2 days. In addition, it allowed freshness to be monitored via observable color shifts. For quantitative assessment of this relationship, a smartphone app was used to extract RGB values, which were then correlated with both TVB-N and TVC. A linear regression model was established to predict changes in fish freshness. This multifunctional intelligent packaging system offers a simple and efficient approach for real-time food quality monitoring.
