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 volatile compounds in the fruits of 24 apricot cultivars were quantitatively and qualitatively determined via headspace solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS). A total of 429 volatile compounds were detected in these fruits, and the greatest number of detected terpenoids was 77. Significant differences were found among the cultivars in terms of the total volatile compound content of the fruits, with variation from 112.76 ('ZSHYX') to 317.36 µg/g ('JNL'). Using relative odor activity value (rOAV) analysis, 42 key aroma compounds were identified. The rOAVs of (2S,4R)-4-methyl-2-(2-methylprop-1-enyl)oxane, (E)-non-2-enal, (3-methyl-3-sulfanylbutyl) formate, and thiophen-2-ylmethanethiol were above 1000, and most had green, fruity, and woody odors; these results indicated that these substances were important contributors to the overall aroma of the apricot fruits. Our study provides a comprehensive analysis of the volatile compounds from 24 representative apricot cultivars and can aid in the further scientific understanding of the metabolites and aroma in apricots. These findings provide a reference for controlling fruit quality and for future apricot cultivar breeding.
