A honeybee's ability to learn, recognize, and discriminate odors depends upon odor sampling time and concentration.

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
Animals sample sensory stimuli for longer periods when they must perform difficult discrimination tasks, implying that the brain's ability to represent stimuli improves as a function of time. Although it is true in other senses, few studies have examined whether increasing sampling time improves olfactory discrimination. In the experiments reported here, odor sampling time was controlled with the goal of testing whether odor concentration affected a honeybee's ability to learn, recognize, and discriminate odors. Increasing sampling time during conditioning and testing improved a honeybee's ability to learn, recognize, and differentiate low-concentration (0.0002 M) odors. For intermediate-concentration (0.02 M) odors, both acquisition and recognition improved when stimulus duration was longer, but discrimination was unaffected. Having longer to sample a high-concentration (2.0 M) stimulus also improved acquisition, but it did not affect the ability to recognize or differentiate odors. Differences in time to respond to the conditioned and novel odors during the test period depended on the difficulty of the discrimination task. The results suggest that the sensory coding of molecular identity takes longer for low-concentration odors.
