Efficacy of nanoemulsion of Satureja sahendica essential oil and melatonin as a safe approach against postharvest fungal in raspberries.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Chemical fungicides remain the primary method for controlling post-harvest fungal infections in fruits, yet their use is increasingly restricted due to health risks, environmental concerns, and stricter regulations. This has driven interest in natural bioactive compounds as sustainable disease management tools. Here, we investigated the antifungal efficacy of a nanoemulsion derived from Satureja sahendica essential oil (Nano-EO) along with melatonin (MEL), against fungi commonly associated with raspberry deterioration. Nano-EO displayed potent antifungal activity, fully inhibiting the growth of Trichoderma sp. and an unidentified Basidiomycetes sp. at 300 µl/L. MEL also reduced mycelial growth in a concentration-dependent manner, although susceptibility varied among fungal species, with the Basidiomycetes sp. showing minimal inhibition (20.4% at 0.1 mM). Nano-EO consistently outperformed MEL, underscoring its strong antifungal potential. These findings suggest that natural nanoemulsions, either alone or combined with MEL, may provide effective, eco-friendly approaches for reducing post-harvest losses and improving the microbiological safety of raspberry fruits.
