A review of the postharvest biochemical, biophysical and biological properties of 61 cultivars of North American pawpaw (Asimina triloba) fruit.
Review in Journal of the science of food and agriculture, 2026. 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
Fruit from the North American pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is unfamiliar to many as a food crop and botanically unusual because it is the northernmost genus and only temperate member of the tropical Annonaceae family. It is the largest edible fruit native to North America. Wild or unnamed cultivars of pawpaw account for much of the pawpaw that is sold in the United States, however, there are over 160 named cultivars of pawpaw. Only a few hundred papers accounts for the entirety of the published research on pawpaw, and the majority of that research is focused on preharvest growth characteristics. Manuscripts that exist about biochemical, biological, and biophysical properties of pawpaw tend to not identify the cultivars that were assayed. This review presents an overview of biochemical, biological, and biophysical properties of named cultivars of the North American pawpaw (Asimina triloba). Sixty-one named pawpaw cultivars were analyzed and compared. The biochemical, biological, and biophysical properties reported in this study provide a strong basis to the view the pawpaw through a wider lens that could lead to breakthroughs in the development of new food products, functional insights, and processing technologies. Understanding the differences in quality attributes between pawpaw cultivars can aid in improving this underutilized fruit crop. © 2025 The Author(s).
