Smart Nanosensor Technology for Fruit Preservation:
Article in ACS omega, 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
A nanosilica-permanganate colorimetric nanosensor (NS) was developed for ethylene scavenging in postharvest papaya, offering sustainable shelf life extension. Incorporated in a polyethylene nonwoven pouch (tag), NS was compared to control (CO) and vermiculite (VR) treatments. NS particles measured 15-25 nm, negatively charged, and characterized by FTIR, SEM-FEG, SEM-EDS, and zeta potential. GC-FID analysis showed ethylene release at climacteric peak: CO = 0.50 μL/kgh, VR = 0.49 μL/kgh, NS = 0.35 μL/kgh, confirming NS's superior scavenging. Ripening was monitored over 17 days at 16 °C. Deconvolution revealed ethylene peak at day 15 for NS vs day 13 for CO/VR. Firmness declined (peel: ∼30-6 N; pulp: ∼11-0.5 N), pH rose (5.4-5.9), titratable acidity (∼0.085-0.052%), and soluble solids rose (∼10.0-12.7). Statistical analysis did not demonstrate a significant difference among treatments. Hue angle in NS changed from 240° to 320° (violet to brown), indicating continued ethylene adsorption, unlike VR. NS color shift aligned with fruit ripening, supporting its use in smart packaging.
