Impacts of methyl jasmonate treatments on quality properties and bioactive compounds of jujube fruit (Ziziphus jujuba) during cold storage.
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 2 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
backgroundJujube is an important fruit species due to its high nutritional value and health benefits. However, the short shelf life of fruit causes quality losses, making it difficult to trade. This study was conducted to determine the effects of postharvest methyl jasmonate (MeJA) applications on the fruit quality and biochemical properties of 'Li' jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) cultivar. In the study, fruits were pre-cooled at 7 °C and 85 ± 5% humidity for 24 h and those with diseases, pests, and mechanical damage were eliminated. Then, MeJA was applied to the fruits at concentrations of 0.2 mM and 0.4 mM and stored at 0 ± 0.5 °C and 90 ± 5% humidity for 45 days and analyzes were performed at 15-day intervals.
resultsThis study showed that MeJA applications positively affected the postharvest quality of jujube fruit. MeJA-applied fruits exhibited lower weight loss and lower respiration rates, and MeJA applications helped preserve fruit color and maintained fruit firmness for a longer time. MeJA was effective in maintaining the total phenolic and flavonoid content in fruit content and the loss of vitamin C content was lower with MeJA application. MeJA was effective for determining soluble solids content (SSC), and titratable acidity and delayed ripening in fruit. CONCLUSSION: MeJA application increases the commercial value of fruits by reducing weight loss, slowing down the ripening process, and preserving higher nutritional content and antioxidant activities and suggest that it can be used as a feasible method for improving fruit protection strategies. MeJA application stands out as an effective method for extending the shelf life of jujube fruits by preserving their post-harvest quality and nutritional values.
