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

This study evaluated the influence of ripening stage on sanitary status, fruit characteristics, oil content, and quality parameters in four Spanish olive cultivars ('Arbequina', 'Manzanilla Carrasqueña', 'Morisca', and 'Picual') grown in Badajoz, Spain. The sanitary status of olives declined significantly as ripening progressed across all cultivars, with 'Morisca' showing the most pronounced deterioration (from 99.33% to 51.11% healthy fruits) and 'Arbequina' exhibiting the greatest tolerance (80.17% at full maturity). Oil content on a dry basis increased steadily during ripening in all cultivars, ranging from 35.10 to 36.84% at early stages to 44.26-49.51% at full maturity, while extractability patterns varied among cultivars. Total phenolic compounds decreased significantly in 'Arbequina' and 'Manzanilla Carrasqueña', while 'Morisca' and 'Picual' remained stable during ripening. Oxidative stability was highest in 'Manzanilla Carrasqueña' (90.28-137.64 h) and 'Picual' (100.67-109.37 h) oils, while 'Arbequina' and 'Morisca' exhibited moderate values (40.04-54.85 h). All oils showed acidity levels below the 0.80% limit for extra virgin classification throughout ripening (0.09-0.21% oleic acid). These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing harvest timing according to desired quality profiles, with early harvest recommended for maximizing phenolic content and oxidative stability in 'Arbequina' and 'Manzanilla Carrasqueña', while 'Morisca' and 'Picual' offer greater flexibility in harvest scheduling without compromising oil quality.
