Octopamine-mediated neuromodulation of insect senses.
Review in Neurochemical research, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 49 papers.
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
Octopamine functions as a neuromodulator, neurotransmitter, and neurohormone in insect nervous systems. Octopamine has a prominent role in influencing multiple physiological events: (a) as a neuromodulator, it regulates desensitization of sensory inputs, arousal, initiation, and maintenance of various rhythmic behaviors and complex behaviors such as learning and memory; (b) as a neurotransmitter, it regulates endocrine gland activity; and (c) as a neurohormone, it induces mobilization of lipids and carbohydrates. Octopamine exerts its effects by binding to specific proteins that belong to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors and share the structural motif of seven transmembrane domains. The activation of octopamine receptors is coupled with different second messenger pathways depending on species, tissue source, receptor type and cell line used for the expression of cloned receptor. The second messengers include adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP), calcium, diacylglycerol (DAG), and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). The cAMP activates protein kinase A, calcium and DAG activate protein kinase C, and IP3 mobilizes calcium from intracellular stores. Octopamine-mediated generation of these second messengers is associated with changes in cellular response affecting insect behaviors. The main objective of this review is to discuss significance of octopamine-mediated neuromodulation in insect sensory systems.
