The Role of Ethylene and Its Antagonists in Advancing Postharvest Management of Fruits and Flowers.

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
Ethylene, a key plant hormone that regulates fruit ripening, senescence, and abscission. Due to these functions, ethylene is often referred as "aging hormone." These roles help plant development and reproduction, yet complicate postharvest management for perishable fruits, vegetables, and cut flowers. Unchecked ethylene production and action accelerate spoilage, reduce shelf life, and diminish product quality during storage and transport. This chapter explores the synthesis, signaling pathways, and physiological effects of ethylene, providing an understanding for its impact on postharvest biology. It also examines control measures, such as temperature and humidity regulation, modified atmosphere storage, and ethylene inhibitors like 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). Recent advances in ethylene antagonists and packaging systems infused with ethylene blockers are also discussed. This chapter offers strategies to manage ethylene and extend storage life, marketability, and acceptability of perishable goods. By integrating ethylene control into postharvest technologies, it balances optimal ripening with longer shelf life, ensuring that high-quality produce reaches consumers.
