Effect of Crosslinking on the Physical Properties and Antifungal Activity of Active Coatings Containing Cinnamon Essential Oil for Anthracnose Control in Mangoes.

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 study aimed to verify the stability of cinnamon essential oil (CEO) nanoemulsions after their incorporation into polymer-based coatings for the control of anthracnose in mangoes. A 0.75% CEO emulsion with Tween 80 was produced via ultrasonication and incorporated into sodium alginate (1%) and carboxymethylcellulose (0.5%) solutions, with or without calcium-induced crosslinking. Physical stability (droplet size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, pH, whiteness, turbidity, and antifungal activity) was monitored over 28 days. Furthermore, the rheological behavior and efficacy of the active coatings were evaluated on mangoes artificially inoculated with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Crosslinked formulation showed lower variations in droplet size and PDI over time, indicating greater protection of CEO droplets within the structured polymeric network. All coating-forming solutions exhibited pseudoplastic behavior; however, the incorporation of the nanoemulsion reduced viscosity compared with the base coating while maintaining adequate flow behavior for brush application. Notably, the crosslinked coating achieved a substantial mitigation of the disease, reaching up to 70% reduction in anthracnose lesion progression of the mangoes. Therefore, calcium crosslinking resulted in better long-term maintenance of physicochemical and functional properties, confirming the efficiency of this strategy in enhancing the performance of CEO-based active coatings for sustainable postharvest disease management.
