Temporal, spatial, and vertical distribution of plum curculio (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in southeastern peach orchards.
Article in Environmental entomology, 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
Plum curculio (PC), Conotrachelus nenuphar (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a key pest of Southeastern US peaches. To facilitate the development of spatiotemporally targeted management approaches and improve the deployment and design of monitoring traps, we studied PC's vertical distribution within peach orchards and whether their dispersal patterns resulted in an orchard edge effect. Non-baited Whalon-modified Tedder's traps (black pyramid traps; ∼120 cm in height) deployed at 3 heights-0 (low), 120 (medium), and 240 (high) cm above the ground-revealed that PC were captured at all heights but predominantly in the low traps. Additionally, correlations among PC captures at different heights were often nonsignificant. Although we documented the presence of PC's edge effects in Georgia peaches for the first time, the occurrence of these effects was inconsistent across 2 yr, failing to regularly appear early in the season when PC entered the orchard from overwintering sites and late in the season when they departed to seek overwintering sites. Overall, our findings suggest that relying solely on ground-deployed pyramid traps for PC monitoring may not accurately reflect overall PC abundance in the field. Unlike in Northeastern apples, where PC consistently exhibits an edge effect, targeted management programs that focus insecticide applications on PC in perimeter tree rows rather than the entire orchard are not currently recommended for Southeastern peach production systems.
