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
introductionThe regulation of aroma quality during the postharvest processing of fresh tea leaves is a critical yet underexplored area. Green tea spreading, a key step that induces dehydration stress, significantly influences aroma formation but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood.
objectivesThis study aimed to identify the optimal spreading degree for the fresh aroma quality of Lu'an Guapian (LAGP) green tea and to elucidate the key volatile compounds, biosynthetic genes, and regulatory transcription factors responsible for this process.
methodsWe utilized an integrated multi-omics approach, combining gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS), and odor activity value (OAV) analysis to profile aroma compounds. Transcriptomics was used to identify associated gene expression changes. Key findings were validated through subcellular localization, in vitro enzyme assays, transient overexpression in tea plants, promoter cloning, yeast one-hybrid (Y1H) assays, luciferase (LUC) reporter assays, electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA), and exogenous ethephon treatment.
resultsAn optimal moisture range of 68%-71% was found to maximize the fresh aroma quality. (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol was identified as a critical contributor, and its biosynthetic gene, CsADH1, was strongly upregulated. In vitro assays confirmed CsADH1's cytoplasmic localization and its specific activity in converting (Z)-3-hexenal to (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol. Transient overexpression of CsADH1 in tea plants significantly increased (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol production. Furthermore, we discovered that the transcription factor CsERF105 directly binds to the CsADH1 promoter to activate its expression in response to dehydration stress and potential ethylene signal.
conclusionOur results demonstrate that dehydration stress and potential ethylene signal during spreading triggers CsERF105-mediated activation of CsADH1, which in turn enhances the biosynthesis of the key fresh aroma compound (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol. This study successfully links a specific spreading processing condition to a molecular regulatory module, providing crucial insights and novel targets for improving aroma quality in tea processing.
