Nutritional and qualitative comparison of temperate fruits from conventional and organic orchards.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
This research was conducted to compare the quality and nutritional profile of temperate fruits cultivated in conventional and organic orchards. Sampling was done in Iran from four orchards (two organic and two conventional). Ten fruits were sampled in three replicates in each of the organic and conventional orchards. Some traits such as the content of carotenoid, chlorophyll, ascorbic acid, phenolics, protein, soluble solids (TSS) and calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), potassium (K), sulfur (S) and phosphorus elements were measured in the fruits and leaves. This study aims to evaluate the variability in chemical and nutritional quality parameters among various temperate fruit species sourced from both organic and conventional production methods. The research findings indicate that fruits cultivated in organic orchards exhibit superior quality and enhanced nutritional profiles compared to those grown conventionally. Specifically, the highest levels of carotenoids, chlorophyll, protein, and essential minerals were observed in the organic orchard. Notably, the interaction between orchard type and fruit variety revealed that organic mulberry displayed the highest concentrations of chlorophyll, protein, copper, and potassium. In contrast, organic grapes and figs presented elevated total soluble solids, copper, zinc, and iron levels. These results underscore the benefits of organic farming practices in producing nutritionally rich fruits.
