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

backgroundPurple passion fruit is highly appreciated for its distinctive sweet flavour, low acidity, and aromatic profile, making it a desirable choice for fresh consumption and juice production. To ensure microbiological safety and extend shelf life, juice products typically undergo thermal pasteurization, which can alter their physicochemical properties and volatile composition, and ultimately impact consumer perception. However, the dynamics of the purple passion fruit volatilome, from fresh fruit to processed juice during storage, remain poorly understood. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize these transformations using an advanced analytical technique (two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry).

resultsFor the first time, the volatile profile of whole and halved fruits was investigated, leading to the identification of 80 previously unreported compounds. Furthermore, high-pressure processing was compared with thermal pasteurization in terms of its effects on juice quality parameters. The former better retained key attributes of fresh juice after 60 days of refrigerated storage, namely, total phenolic content (76.4% vs. 59.6%), antioxidant activity (34.8% vs. 2.8%), browning degree (18.7% vs. 56.7% increase), colour (ΔE = 7.99 vs. 15.5), and volatile profile integrity. These results were corroborated by the evaluation of the extension of several reactions (Maillard and Strecker reactions, and carotenoids, lipids and monoterpenic oxidative reactions).

conclusionOverall, this work provides novel chemical data that may help elucidate consumer perception of distinctive purple passion fruit characteristics at several stages of fruit consumption and provide a scientific basis for the application of high-pressure processing in producing minimally processed juices with improved preservation of sensory characteristics. © 2025 The Author(s).
