Geographic variation in functional compounds and multi-element of Lithocarpus litseifolius: insights from chemical profiling and ecological drivers.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Lithocarpus litseifolius (Hance) Chun (LL), is a high-value edible and medicinal plant, prized for its unique flavor, health benefits and a vital role in increasing farmers' incomes. It is extensively cultivated in multiple provinces in China, with prices and qualities variations regulated by local ecological conditions. This study investigated 63 chemical components, including 16 functional compounds and 47 multi-element, alongside 64 ecological factors to assess quality differences and regional characteristics of LL from 5 origins. LL from Yunnan province exhibited superior quality, characterized by higher flavonoid content. Furthermore, 23 key differential components were identified using VIP (Variable importance in projection) features, serving as the most important variables for discrimination and quality control. Moreover, structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated the dominantly positive effects of altitude on the major sweetness component phlorizin, whereas longitude, mean temperature of the warmest month, annual moisture index, and absolute maximum temperature had negative effects on phlorizin.
