Aerial Phenotyping of Coffee Flowering Using Deep Learning for Early Yield Prediction.
Article in Plants (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
Early yield estimation is important for improving decision-making and management practices in coffee production systems. However, approaches that use aerial imagery to characterize flowering and relate it to subsequent yield remain limited. This study evaluated the potential of RGB imagery acquired by remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) combined with Deep Learning techniques to classify coffee plants according to three levels of a flowering proxy and to investigate its relationship with yield. A dataset comprising 1593 segmented RGB images was classified into Low, Medium, and High flowering levels using a custom convolutional neural network and three transfer learning architectures: VGG16, ResNet50V2, and MobileNetV2. ResNet50V2 was selected for final evaluation based on its validation performance and achieved 92.12% accuracy, 92.40% macro-precision, 91.81% macro-recall, and 92.06% macro-F1 on the test dataset. The flowering proxy showed a positive association with field-observed yield, with Spearman's ρ = 0.701 (
