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

The increasing environmental concerns associated with petroleum-based packaging materials have accelerated the development of biodegradable alternatives, with starch-based films emerging as promising candidates. This study investigates the influence of grape seed oil (5-15 wt.%) and storage time (up to 5 months) on the mechanical, thermal, structural, and surface properties of potato-starch-based films for biodegradable packaging applications. Oil incorporation improved the initial film performance, increasing tensile strength (1.27-3.11 MPa), enhancing thermal stability (melting temperature up to ~118 °C), and promoting higher surface hydrophobicity (contact angle up to ~87°). The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis indicated time-dependent changes in the thermal transitions associated with the reorganization of ordered starch domains with oil addition, from 39.96% for samples with 5% oil to 36.40% for samples with 15% oil. After three months, all oil-containing samples exhibited a substantial reduction in ultimate tensile strength, with normalized stress values decreasing to 0.74-1.18 depending on oil content. However, after 5 months, the evaluated properties had values close to or above the reference. Statistical evaluation confirmed that storage time is the dominant factor governing property evolution, exceeding the influence of oil concentration.
