When Is the Right Moment to Pick Blueberries? Variation in Agronomic and Chemical Properties of Blueberry (

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
Blueberries, which are recognized by their colored fruits and exquisite flavor and taste, are a great source of bioactive substances with potential functional properties. For the purpose of this study, the blueberry cultivars 'Duke', 'Chandler' and 'Bluecrop' were picked at four different times. The aim of the study was to compare the cultivars and determine the best time for picking fruits for table consumption and to produce berries that can be used as functional foods with elevated levels of bioactive compounds. According to principal component analysis (PCA), the most influential traits for distinguishing different times of harvest in the 'Duke' cultivar were sorbitol, glucose, sucrose, and turanose; for the cultivar 'Chandler', they were caffeic acid, aesculetin, and quercetin; for the 'Bluecrop', they were fructose, maltose, radical scavenging activity, and quercetin. Blueberry fruits aimed for table consumption were those harvested in the first two pickings of the cultivar 'Duke', in the first and third of the 'Bluecrop', and in the third picking time of the cultivar 'Chandler', due to the highest fruit size and very high level of sugar (mostly glucose and fructose). 'Duke' berries from the second and third harvest (high level of total phenolic content, radical scavenging activity, total anthocyanins, aesculin, quercetin, and isorhamnetin), 'Chandler' from the first and third (the highest
