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
backgroundSeveral commercial berries have been examined for anthocyanin composition, bioaccessibility, and bioactive effects, while Brazilian berries remain underexplored. This study aimed to access the effect of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion on anthocyanin bioaccessibility, stability, and antioxidant potential in black pitanga (Eugenia uniflora var. rubra Mattos), grumixama (Eugenia brasiliensis), nhamburi (Rubus urticaefolius), and barapiroca (Eugenia involucrata) - also called Rio Grande cherry - and explore its link with the food matrix composition.
methodsThe INFOGEST in vitro digestion model was applied to these berries, and anthocyanin were quantified using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-triple-quadrupole-tandem mass spectrometry. Antioxidant potential, polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and proximate composition were analyzed by conventional protocols. The results were used in performing analysis of variance, Pearson's R correlations, and multivariate principal component analysis to explore the food matrix key roles.
resultsBrazilian native berries, particularly black pitanga, nhamburi, and grumixama, were found to be rich sources of anthocyanins. Stability during in vitro digestion oscillated between berries and anthocyanin type, besides remaining over 40%. Bioaccessibility highlights are the cyanindin-3-glucoside and malvidin-3,5-diglucoside, which had the highest bioaccessibilities (between 45% and 68%). Black pitanga and nhamburi were able to provide the highest amounts of bioaccessible anthocyanins (477 and 1172 mg g
conclusionThe findings reveal complex interactions between food matrices, anthocyanin stability and bioaccessibility, and effective antioxidant potential for human health. This research emphasizes the use of Brazilian berries as good anthocyanin sources, highlighting black pitanga and nhamburi, while fostering consumer health and conservation of natural resources. © 2026 The Author(s).
