Bacterial Cellulose- and Laponite-Reinforced Corn Starch Bioplastics for Sustainable Packaging.
Article in Polymers, 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
Growing environmental concerns associated with petroleum-based plastics have stimulated the development of renewable and biodegradable alternatives. In this study, corn-starch-based composite films were prepared with bacterial cellulose (BC), α-cellulose (α-C), or carboxylated cellulose nanofibers (CNC) in the presence of laponite and glycerol. The films were characterized using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, optical measurements at 600 nm, tensile testing, qualitative solvent-exposure tests, and thermally induced repair experiments. Among the films containing different cellulose types, the bacterial-cellulose-containing bioplastic (BC-BP) exhibited the highest tensile strength and Young's modulus, reaching 4.47 and 0.229 MPa, respectively. The carboxylated-cellulose-nanofiber-containing bioplastic (CNC-BP) showed the highest elongation at break (100%) and the lowest thickness-normalized optical attenuation (0.38 mm
