Nanocomposite-Enabled Next-Generation Food Packaging: A Comprehensive Review on Advanced Preparation Methods, Functional Properties, Preservation Applications, and Safety Considerations.
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 7 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
This review comprehensively examines nanocomposite packaging materials for food preservation, focusing on their preparation methods, functional properties, applications, and safety considerations. Nanocomposites, incorporating nanomaterials such as metal nanoparticles, polysaccharides, or essential oils into polymer matrices, demonstrate enhanced mechanical strength, barrier properties (e.g., reduced water vapor and oxygen permeability), and significant antimicrobial activity. These advancements address critical food spoilage challenges by extending shelf life and maintaining quality in diverse products like fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy. In addition, this review highlights concerns regarding potential cytotoxicity and migration of nanoparticles, underscoring the need for rigorous safety evaluations. While current methods (e.g., ionic gelation, electrospinning) show promise, scalability remains limited. Future research should prioritize eco-friendly designs, functional integration, and standardized safety protocols to facilitate commercial adoption.
