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

Biodegradable polysaccharide-protein films are promising alternatives to petroleum-based packaging but often lack adequate structural stability and functionality. Although ultrasound (US), ultraviolet (UV), and microwave (MW) treatments have been individually applied to improve biopolymer films, a systematic comparison on the same film system remains unreported. Here, cactus polysaccharide (CP) was extracted fromOpuntiaspp. with high purity (91.69% polysaccharides, 117.15 μg/g protein, 1.03 mg/g phenolics). CP-gelatin films were fabricated and treated with US (200 W, 20 kHz, 30 min), UV (254 nm, 30 W, 30 min), or MW (300 W, 2450 MHz, intermittent heating). Effects of these physical fields technologies on the structural, physicochemical, mechanical, and functional properties of the films were systematically evaluated. Compared with UV and MW treatments, US treatment resulted in significantly lower moisture content (6.38% vs. 7.09% and 6.78%), water solubility (65.34% vs. 71.51% and 68.22%), swelling index (99.0% vs. 117.7% and 108.5%), and water vapour permeability (1.81 × 10
