1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Microbial spoilage and foodborne pathogens remain central challenges in food safety, driven by the metabolic resilience and ecological adaptability of bacteria, yeasts, and molds across diverse food matrices. Active antimicrobial packaging has emerged as a biologically informed strategy that directly targets microbial physiology through controlled release or contact-mediated mechanisms. These systems employ natural antimicrobials, bacteriocins, essential oils, and metal nanoparticles to disrupt cell membranes, inhibit enzymatic pathways, generate reactive oxygen species, or interfere with quorum sensing, resulting in substantial reductions in microorganisms such as
