Phenotype, Squalene, and Lanosterol Content Variation Patterns During Seed Maturation in Different Leaf-Color Tea Cultivars.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Squalene and lanosterol are bioactive compounds with diverse physiological effects, found in relatively high concentrations in tea seed oil. Their levels are significantly influenced by cultivar and fruit maturity. As leaf-color specific tea cultivars gain popularity, parts of them tend to have a higher flower and fruit ratio than green-leaf tea cultivars. However, their fruit characteristics remain underexplored. This study investigated 15 tea cultivars with different leaf colors, analyzing phenotypic changes in seeds during maturation, and examining the variation patterns of squalene and lanosterol. The crude water content, dry kernel content, and oil content were closely related to the maturity and effectively reflected seed development. Lanosterol content showed an overall downward trend with increased maturity. Squalene content fluctuated sharply before the seeds fully matured, but gradually decreased once they were fully matured. At full maturity, leaf-color specific tea cultivars generally exhibited higher concentrations of squalene and lanosterol than those with green leaf.
