Advances in Flavor Formation Mechanisms and Technological Regulation of Sun-Processed Tea.
Review 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
The application of sun withering and sun drying in tea processing has been demonstrated to reduce energy consumption while endowing finished tea with unique flavor attributes. This study reviews recent progress in the sensory characterization, aroma chemistry, and the technological and environmental regulatory mechanisms underlying quality formation in sun-processed tea. Existing research has identified geraniol, linalool, decanal, and 1-octen-3-ol as the core aromatic components of sun-processed tea, among which 1-octen-3-ol contributes substantially to its characteristic sunlight-associated flavor profile. Furthermore, sun-induced photothermal coupling can regulate endogenous tea metabolism and mediate the differential conversion of flavor precursors across different tea categories. Precise control of light intensity, irradiation duration, ventilation and other environmental parameters, combined with tea-specific process regulation, is the core to developing characteristic flavors and stabilizing the quality of commercial sun-processed tea. Future research should focus on technological optimization, mechanistic investigation, and industrial translation of sun-processed tea technologies, so as to provide theoretical guidance for the innovative application of energy-saving and simplified sun exposure processing in the global tea industry.
