Effects of postharvest collision damage on qualities of kiwifruit during storage.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 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
Introduction: Understanding the physicochemical quality variations of kiwifruit subjected to repeated collisions during storage is critical for optimizing postharvest processing and improving handling equipment. However, this issue has received limited research attention. This study investigated the effects of different factors (storage time, collision position, and collision frequency) on the quality of kiwifruit during storage. This study provides new insights into the preservation and storage of kiwifruit. Methods: In this study, the effects of three collision frequencies (1, 3, and 5 impacts), three collision positions (top/stem shoulder, middle/cheek, and bottom/calyx shoulder) simulated using an impactor, and a storage period of 42 days were evaluated on the physicochemical properties of kiwifruit. Multivariate analysis of variance was performed on weight loss rate (WL), hardness, soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), reducing sugars (RS), and vitamin C (VC). Results: The results showed that these factors significantly influenced WL and the hardness of kiwifruit. The collision frequency and collision position both affected SSC and RS, whereas collision frequency significantly influenced VC content but not TA. On the contrary, the collision position had no significant effect on VC content but significantly affected TA. The coefficient of determination R2 for all multiple regression models exceeded 0.5. Furthermore, correlation analysis demonstrated that repeated collisions accelerated kiwifruit ripening, and weakened the correlation among physicochemical properties. Discussion: Overall, this study highlights the substantial impact of mechanical damage on the physicochemical quality attributes of kiwifruit during storage, offering a new perspective for assessing damage sensitivity under different storage conditions.
