Epidemiology of Monilinia laxa, the causal agent of blossom blight in almond orchards within the Ebro Valley.
Article in Pest management science, 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
backgroundAlmond blossom blight, caused by Monilinia spp., is a notable fungal disease associated with intensified crop management practices. In this study, we aimed to investigate the epidemiology of Monilinia spp. on almonds in two orchards in the Ebro Valley, with a focus on (i) primary inoculum sources through sampling of affected mummified fruiting structures from trees and the ground before blooming; (ii) secondary inoculum sources postblooming; and (iii) disease dynamics throughout the season in relation to meteorological data.
resultsMonilinia laxa was the primary species affecting almonds in the Ebro Valley. Furthermore, early-stage mummified fruiting structures frequently adhered to branches (3.8 log conidia/mummified fruiting structure), whereas late-stage mummified fruiting structures were predominantly found on the ground. Additionally, cankers present before blooming (6.0 × 10
conclusionThese findings provide critical insights into sustainable disease management practices and the optimal timing of protective measures against blossom blight. © 2025 The Author(s). Pest Management Science published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Chemical Industry.
