Chemical composition of essential oil from Lavandula dentata L. to control citrus aphids selectively.
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
The green citrus aphid (Aphis spiraecola) is a major pest in Mediterranean citrus orchards, transmits phytoviruses, and shows increasing resistance to synthetic insecticides. This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition and aphicidal activity of essential oil (EO) from Lavandula dentata and to assess its selectivity toward beneficial insects. EO was extracted by hydrodistillation from leaves and analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, yielding 1.8% of the dry biomass. The major constituents were monoterpenes (45.5%) and sesquiterpenes (22.4%), with eucalyptol (12.8%), β-pinene (5.7%), linalool (4.7%), camphene (4.4%), murolan-3,9 (11)-diene-10-peroxy (4.3%), and α-pinene (4.0%) as dominant compounds. The oil exhibited significant contact insecticidal activity against A. spiraecola. After 24 h, LD₅₀ and LD₉₀ values were 6.02 and 23.56 µL mL
