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 analyzed the volatile profiles of 16 cold-region small-fruited apple cultivars using HS-SPME-GC-MS and multivariate statistics. A total of 140 VOCs were identified, with esters being the most abundant. Multivariate analysis revealed 34 key differential compounds, including ethyl butyrate and (E)-2-hexenal. Cultivars with superior sensory scores, such as A-8 ('Niunaiguo') and A-15 ('Saiwaihong'), were characterized by high levels of characteristic esters (ethyl 2-methylbutyrate) and α-farnesene, contributing to their fruity and sweet notes. Intense fruity aromas in A-1 ('Lingdangguo') and A-7 ('K9') were linked to high concentrations of ethyl butyrate and ethyl hexanoate. This research provides a theoretical foundation for the quality evaluation and genetic breeding of distinctive cold-region apple cultivars.
