Bioactive chitosan packaging films with encapsulated beet leaf extract for preserving chicken fillets.
Article in Food chemistry: X, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Extending the shelf life of perishable foods like chicken meat while minimizing synthetic preservatives and plastic waste is a key sustainability goal. This study developed an edible, film composed of chitosan (CH), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), and beet leaf extract (BE) encapsulated in mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs). Beet leaves, a rich source of phenolics and natural pigments, were valorized into a nanocarrier system to enhance antioxidant protection and controlled release. Structural analyses (FT-IR, SEM, TEM) confirmed successful integration of all components. During 8-day refrigerated storage, the optimized film (2 % CH, 2 % MSNPs, 1 % CNC, 15 % BE) effectively limited oxidative and microbial spoilage, maintaining meat quality by moderating pH, reducing oxidation, and suppressing microbial growth below spoilage thresholds. Compared to control samples, films containing the full bioactive matrix demonstrated superior preservation effects. This multifunctional packaging system offers a scalable, eco-friendly solution for meat protection through synergistic integration of natural bioactives and nanotechnology.
