Native bacterial cellulose films based on kombucha pellicle as a potential active food packaging.
Article in Journal of food science and technology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
The production of kombucha involves the synthesis of a bacterial cellulose-based native film by a microbial consortium, typically regarded as a waste by-product in commercial kombucha manufacturing. In this study, films were successfully obtained using the microbial consortium of kombucha, combined with infusions of black tea, green tea, rosehip, coffee, and licorice. These films exhibited a flexible rubbery-like structure and demonstrated inherent biological activity. Comparative analysis revealed that the licorice-based films exhibited a regular and less porous structure, while the green and black tea-based films displayed a porous structure, resulting in higher water permeability and swelling. Remarkably, green tea-based films showcased notable antioxidant activity (DPPH: %74.22 ± 2.05, ABTS: %81.59 ± 2.39) and exhibited antimicrobial properties against Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13197-023-05808-x.
