Pre-Harvest Factors Drive Metabolic and Flavor Variations in Hainan Dayezhong Black Tea.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 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
This study investigated the influences of geographical origin, harvest season, and plucking position on the chemical composition and flavor characteristics of Hainan Dayezhong black tea. Systematic analysis of basic components, volatile profiles and metabolomes of tea samples collected under different pre-harvest conditions revealed significant variations in polyphenols, flavonoids and catechins, as well as distinct differences in volatile composition. Key aroma-active compounds identified were nerolidol, linalool, benzaldehyde, benzeneacetaldehyde and methyl salicylate, which were determined to be decisive for the characteristic aroma profile of Dayezhong black tea. Untargeted metabolomics further demonstrated that these factors do not merely alter individual metabolite levels, but also reprogram energy metabolism, carbon-nitrogen allocation, and secondary metabolic pathways, resulting in distinct metabolic signatures among samples. From a systematic chemical perspective, this study elucidates the metabolic basis of Hainan Dayezhong black tea quality formation and establishes a scientific foundation for targeted quality optimization through regulation of key components.
