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

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of controlled atmosphere (CA) treatment on the postharvest quality of strawberries harvested at different 50% and 80% maturity under export shipping conditions. The strawberries were subjected to CA and refrigerated container (Reefer) environments at 10 °C, and their quality attributes were then analyzed. Metabolomic profiling revealed significant variations in primary and secondary metabolites and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A pathway analysis revealed that CA conditions altered metabolic pathways related to sugar, amino acid, and energy metabolism during storage. CA treatment effectively delayed the accumulation of anthocyanins and enhanced the levels of specific amino acids and VOCs essential for the flavor and aroma of strawberries. Bioluminescence imaging revealed that CA treatment effectively reduced lipid peroxidation. A correlation analysis showed that certain VOCs and secondary metabolites significantly correlated with lipid peroxidation, indicating their role in enhancing antioxidant activity and reducing oxidative stress. These results suggest that CA conditions are associated with significantly reduced weight loss, the maintenance of firmness, and lower respiration rates in strawberries, particularly in those harvested at 80% maturity, extending the shelf life and improving the sensory quality of strawberries. Therefore, CA treatment is an effective method for long-term export.
