Multifunctional OEO-ZIF-8-HA Nanoparticles for Antibacterial Control on Latex Surfaces and Baby Arugula (Eruca Sativa) Leaves.
Article in Journal of food science, 2026. 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
Persistent contamination of food-contact surfaces and leafy greens by Listeria monocytogenes continues to challenge fresh-produce safety, particularly as the industry seeks effective alternatives to chlorine-based sanitizers. To address this need, this study developed and evaluated multifunctional antimicrobial nanocomposites composed of oregano essential oil (OEO), hyaluronic acid (HA), and metal-doped (Ag and Fe) zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). Three formulations, OEO-Ag-ZIF-8-HA, OEO-Fe-ZIF-8-HA, and OEO-HA, were synthesized and assessed for their antimicrobial performance on latex food-contact surfaces and a common leafy green found in ready-to-eat salads, baby arugula (Eruca sativa) leaves. OEO-Ag-ZIF-8-HA demonstrated the strongest antibacterial activity, achieving >5-log reductions on latex surfaces and 3.39-log CFU/g reductions in 15 min on arugula, surpassing the efficacy of a 200-ppm chlorine control. Cytotoxicity testing indicated low cytotoxicity under the tested conditions (>85% cell viability), with the metal-free OEO-HA formulation showing the most favorable response at concentrations below 500 µg/mL. Quality evaluations further confirmed that the treated arugula retained color, freshness, and firmness during five days of storage at 21°C. Collectively, these findings highlight the potential of OEO-based, HA-functionalized, and metal-doped ZIF-8 nanocomposites as promising chlorine-free antimicrobial candidates for improving the sanitation of food-contact surfaces and enhancing the microbial safety of leafy greens. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: The developed nanocomposites offer a safe, chlorine-free antimicrobial alternative for controlling Listeria monocytogenes and other pathogens on food-contact surfaces and fresh produce such as baby arugula (Eruca sativa) leaves.
