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

Environmental conditions significantly influence the metabolic composition and quality attributes of fruits. This study investigated the impact of altitude-associated environmental variation on flavonoid profiles and fruit quality parameters by comparing the "Red Face" strawberry variety grown in two distinct locations: high-altitude-associated environmental conditions in Zhaotong and low-altitude conditions in Dandong. Using LC-MS/MS analysis, we identified 163 bioactive flavonoids, comprising 85 flavonols, 37 flavanones, 33 flavones, and 8 flavanonols. The high-altitude environment of Zhaotong significantly enhanced specific flavonoid compounds, with notable increases in neohesperidin (20.4-fold), tamarixetin-3-O-glucoside-7-O-rhamnoside (17.7-fold), isovitexin (9.1-fold), and hesperidin (8.5-fold) compared to Dandong-grown fruits. Conversely, Dandong-grown fruits showed higher levels of chrysoeriol-7-O-glucoside (53.9-fold), 6-hydroxykaempferol-6,7-O-diglucoside (36.3-fold), and eucalyptin (9.7-fold). The tricetin 3'-glucuronide (24.49% vs 15.31%) and quercetin-4'-O-glucuronide (24.15% vs 15.59%), are the major flavonoids identified in Zhaotong strawberries than Dandong-grown fruits. Furthermore, strawberries cultivated in Zhaotong demonstrated superior antioxidant activities and capacity, increased quality parameters, including higher sugar content (15.30°Brix vs 10.96°Brix), increased ascorbic acid (15.73 mg/g vs 8.53 mg/g), and optimal firmness (20.51 N vs 23.16 N) than Dandong strawberries. These findings suggest that high-altitude cultivation conditions positively influence strawberry fruit characteristics, enhancing both bioactive compound profiles and overall fruit quality. This research provides valuable insights for optimizing strawberry cultivation conditions to maximize nutritional and commercial value.
