Utilization of nanosensors and nanomaterials to revolutionize the food industry: boosting product safety, quality, and sustainability.
Review in RSC advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Nanotechnology is revolutionizing the food industry by improving safety, quality, and sustainability through the use of nanosensors and nanomaterials. Several nanosensors are employed, including biosensors for rapid pathogen detection, nanocomposite indicators for food freshness, and quantum dot-based sensors for heavy metal and pesticide detection. Other types include cantilever-based sensors, carbon nanotube-based electrochemical sensors, nanowires, nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS), and luminous nanoparticle labels for targeted detection. These nanosensors outperform standard processes in terms of sensitivity, speed, and selectivity, allowing for real-time food quality monitoring, contamination detection, and spoiling indication. They also provide temperature monitoring, microbiological detection, and color change indicators in smart packaging. Some of the key benefits include improved quality through freshness monitoring, reduced food waste through accurate shelf-life indications, and increased food safety through early pathogen and toxin detection, and support for sustainability through improved supply chain management and safer packaging solutions. However, there are significant barriers to the application of nanotechnology in food and its integration into existing food industry operations.
