Sucrose synthase cleavage dominance underpins high-sugar phenotype in pitaya (
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2026. 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
Introduction: Pitaya ( Methods: We compared four phenotypically diverse cultivars selected based on preliminary field screening of three key traits: flesh color (white vs. pigmented), average fruit weight (small, medium, large), and soluble solids content (low, medium, high)-'Jindu No.1', 'White Crystal', 'Bicolor Fruit', and 'Bai Yulong'-through comprehensive assessments of morphological traits, soluble sugar profiles, and activities of key sucrose-metabolizing enzymes (neutral invertase [NI], acid invertase [AI], sucrose synthase [SS] in synthesis and cleavage directions, and sucrose phosphate synthase [SPS]) . Results: One-way ANOVA revealed significant genotypic variation in all measured traits, with sugar accumulation peaking in central fruit sectors and correlating strongly with enzyme activities. Notably, high SS-cleavage activity in 'Jindu No.1' and 'Bai Yulong' facilitated hexose buildup, while elevated SS-synthesis in 'Bicolor Fruit' diverted carbons away from sugars. Principal component analysis (PCA) integrated these traits, ranking quality as 'Bai Yulong' > 'Jindu No.1' > 'White Crystal' > 'Bicolor Fruit' and defining a "high-sugar" metabolic mode characterized by dominant SS cleavage. Discussion: These findings reveal physiological mechanisms driving quality differences and provide actionable biomarkers for molecular breeding of sweeter pitaya varieties, advancing sustainable industry development.
