Nutritional and antioxidant profiles of blackberry and raspberry genotypes.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundBlackberries and raspberries are nutritionally rich fruits, yet comprehensive studies assessing both mineral composition and antioxidant activity across diverse genotypes-particularly in Iran-remain limited. This study addresses this gap as the first to systematically evaluate twelve raspberry and blackberry cultivars cultivated in northern Iran, providing novel insights into genotype-specific variations in micronutrients (K, P, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu) and antioxidant profiles (DPPH, FRAP).
resultsDistinct genotypic groupings emerged via cluster analysis, with blackberries (TripleCrown, French, Reuben) and raspberries (e.g., Saanich, KiwiGold) forming separate clusters. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed three components explaining 77% of variance, highlighting strong correlations between genotype, minerals, and antioxidants. Potassium dominated mineral content (0.73-1.21%), with raspberry 'Summit' (1.21%) and 'KiwiGold' (1.08%) as top performers. Remarkably, the raspberry cultivar 'Saanich' demonstrated exceptional levels of iron (159.5 ppm) and manganese (10.5 ppm), surpassing those of other cultivars. Blackberries surpassed raspberries in antioxidant activity: DPPH values ranged from 184.43 µg/ml ('TripleCrown') to 316.02 µg/ml ('Encore'), while FRAP results showed blackberry 'TripleCrown' (17.28 mg Fe²⁺/g DW) outperforming raspberries by 36-57%.
conclusionThis research highlights the potential of selected cultivars to enhance dietary intake of essential minerals, supporting both consumer health and breeding efforts aimed at improving nutritional quality in berry cultivars.
