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

Blueberry leaves (BBL), the primary byproduct of blueberry processing industry, are rich in polyphenolic compounds with significant nutritional and medicinal potential. This study established and optimized analytical methods to determine the major components and bioactivities in 110 BBL samples. The results indicated that chlorogenic acid (7.40-102.26 mg/g) was the predominant monomeric component in BBL, with TPC (245.22 ± 67.47 mg/g) generally exceeding TFC (19.61 ± 13.92 mg/g). In terms of cultivar varieties, rabbiteye BBL demonstrated the highest values in neochlorogenic acid (3.60 ± 1.28 mg/g), isoquercitrin (5.06 ± 2.88 mg/g), total phenolics (315.19 ± 52.74 mg/g), antioxidant activities (DPPH: 627.07 ± 150.25 μmol/g; ABTS: 654.90 ± 98.79 μmol/g), as well as α-glucosidase (90.33 % ± 8.64 %) and pancreatic lipase (53.77 % ± 8.64 %) inhibitory capacities. Southern highbush BBL exhibited higher hyperoside content (3.47 ± 3.10 mg/g) and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity (62.01 % ± 8.97 %), while northern highbush BBL were characterized by elevated levels of chlorogenic acid (52.89 ± 19.24 mg/g), rutin (2.22 ± 1.01 mg/g), and TFC (20.31 ± 12.54 mg/g). The statistical analysis results revealed significant positive correlations between antioxidant activity and the contents of neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, total phenolics, and total flavonoids. Specifically, a positive correlation was observed between α-glucosidase inhibition and the contents of total phenolics and flavonoids, while a negative correlation existed between pancreatic lipase inhibition and hyperoside content. The entropy weight method confirmed rabbiteye BBL exhibited superior quality compared to highbush types, and open-field BBL significantly surpassed greenhouse-grown samples. This study investigated the characteristic chemical components and metabolism-related bioactivities of BBL across different cultivars and growing environments. By integrating chemometric analysis for correlation assessment, it provides a scientific basis for the resource utilization and high-value exploitation of BBL.
