Review in Comprehensive reviews in food science and food safety, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Packaging reduction, particularly in terms of single-use plastic (SUP) packaging waste, as well as restrictions on specific packaging formats and regulatory requirements, are driving the demand for sustainable packaging solutions. Notably, within the category of SUP products, packaging accounts for the highest share at 40%. Therefore, advanced bio-based food packaging technologies are essential for extending the lifespan of perishable food products, while maintaining their nutritional value and ensuring food safety and security. This review provides a comprehensive overview of published articles, highlighting the innovations in edible packaging films, coatings, and antimicrobial agents for applications in the food industry, intending to help scientists, companies, and consumers make informed decisions. The advantages and challenges with polysaccharide, protein, and lipid-based edible packaging materials are discussed. A detailed description of various food-safe antimicrobial agents, along with their antimicrobial mechanisms, incorporation techniques, and regulations, is provided. By leveraging natural bioactive compounds, antimicrobial edible packaging provides significant advantages over chemical-based antimicrobial agents. Additionally, encapsulation techniques help control release and enhance the stability and effectiveness of antimicrobial agents, thereby prolonging the shelf life of perishable food products. On the basis of recent advancements, rapid growth in antimicrobial edible food packaging can be anticipated. Further, the review focuses on the importance of safety and regulatory aspects related to nanoparticle (NP) migration and appropriate labeling on antimicrobial edible packaging along with key challenges highlighting cost, consumer acceptance, and large-scale production. Finally, it highlights the potential of utilizing food-grade antimicrobial agents with edible polymers for the sustainable preservation of perishable food products.
