Sensory profiling of South Korean grape wines: a comparison of fast profiling methods and evaluation environments.
Article in Journal of the science of food and agriculture, 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
backgroundThe South Korean wine market has rapidly expanded in recent years; however, the sensory characteristics of domestically produced red wines remain largely unexplored. This study aims to profile the sensory attributes of South Korean red wines and compare the performance of two rapid profiling methods - check-all-that-apply (CATA) and flash profiling (FP) - with conventional generic descriptive analysis (GDA). We also investigate the influence of different evaluation environments. Five experiments were conducted: GDA (n = 10), controlled laboratory tests (CLTs: CATA n = 52, FP n = 20), and home-use tests (HUTs: CATA n = 52, FP n = 21).
resultsFive types of Korean red wines made from Korean wild grape, Muscat Bailey A grape, or Campbell Early grape varieties were evaluated. The GDA generated 31 sensory terms, 26 of which significantly differentiated the wines. CATA identified 31 and 24 significant attributes for the CLT and HUT, respectively, among 63 terms. FP derived 40 representative attributes in the CLT and 37 in the HUT.
conclusionOverall, the CLT conditions produced more consistent sensory discrimination than the HUT conditions when compared with the GDA results. Both CATA and FP effectively distinguished between wine samples, but FP was less efficient in identifying key sensory attributes. Moreover, FP required greater researcher involvement and participant effort compared to CATA. In contrast, CATA profiling - both in CLT and HUT - proved more time-efficient and generated results highly compatible with GDA, particularly when the sensory descriptors of the target products were well established in prior research. © 2026 The Author(s).
