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
The significant anthocyanin loss in blueberry wine can lead to color degradation during aging. This study showed that blending blueberries with 'Cabernet Sauvignon' grapes notably enhanced acylated anthocyanins and copigmentation levels, delaying the decrease in the copigment anthocyanin ratio and significantly increasing the polymerized anthocyanin ratio over time. A model blueberry wine system was applied to evaluate the copigmentation effects of primary copigments from grapes on anthocyanins. The thermodynamic parameter analysis and molecular docking showed that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) exhibited superior copigmentation effects compared to other compounds. Additionally, the copigmentation effects of EGCG and ferulic acid (FA) together were more pronounced than those of EGCG alone, suggesting a synergistic enhancement of copigmentation. These findings provide valuable insights for the blueberry wine industry, indicating that blending techniques and the use of composite copigments can significantly enhance color stability.
