A metabolomic approach to identifying chemical mediators of mammal-plant interactions.
Article in Journal of chemical ecology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Different folivorous marsupials select their food from different subgenera of Eucalyptus, but the choices cannot be explained by known antifeedants, such as formylated phloroglucinol compounds or tannins, or by nutritional quality. Eucalypts contain a wide variety of plant secondary metabolites so it is difficult to use traditional methods to identify the chemicals that determine food selection. Therefore, we used a metabolomic approach in which we employed (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to compare chemical structures of representatives from the two subgenera and to identify chemicals that consistently differ between them. We found that dichloromethane extracts of leaves from most species in the subgenus Eucalyptus differ from those in Symphyomyrtus by the presence of free flavanones, having no substitution in Ring B. Although flavanoids are known to deter feeding by certain insects, their effects on marsupials have not been established and must be tested with controlled feeding studies.
