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

The excessive use of petroleum-based packaging necessitates the need for sustainable, biodegradable alternatives. This study developed a high-performance active packaging film by incorporating chemically modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) into a soy protein isolate (SPI) matrix. CNCs were functionalized via silanization with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) followed by covalent gallic acid grafting. Compared to glycerol-plasticized SPI, the composite films showed significantly enhanced mechanical strength (237.3% increase in tensile strength, from 2.17 to 7.32 MPa), improved water vapor barrier (30.16% reduction in permeability), nearly 100% UV blocking at 200-350 nm, antioxidant activity (12.4% DPPH scavenging), and antibacterial properties. In a 7-day banana preservation test, the optimized film effectively delayed weight loss, softening, and browning while remaining biodegradable, showing visible degradation within 20 days in soil. This work demonstrates a feasible interfacial design strategy for developing multifunctional SPI-based nanocomposite films with high potential for fresh-keeping packaging of perishable fruits such as bananas.
