Advancements in Chitosan-Anthocyanin Composite Films: Sustainable Food Preservation with Biodegradable Packaging.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
To mitigate the escalating environmental pollution caused by plastic packaging films and the associated health risks of the migration of microplastics into food, the development of biodegradable food packaging materials has been recognized as an urgent research priority. In this review, recent advancements in chitosan-anthocyanin composite films (C-As) over the past decade are systematically summarized. First, the key antibacterial and antioxidant mechanisms of chitosan and anthocyanins that contribute to their functional properties are elucidated. Next, the influence of anthocyanin incorporation on the physicochemical characteristics of C-As, including mechanical strength, barrier properties, and thermal stability, is examined. Furthermore, the controlled release behavior of anthocyanins within these C-As and their implications for prolonged bioactivity are explored. Finally, the practical applications of these films in preserving fresh food, such as fruits, vegetables, and meat, are discussed. This review provides a comprehensive framework for designing and optimizing chitosan-anthocyanin-based packaging materials, offering valuable insights for developing sustainable, high-performance food preservation strategies with significant industrial and environmental implications.
