Millisecond stimulus onset-asynchrony enhances information about components in an odor mixture.
Article in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Airborne odorants rarely occur as pure, isolated stimuli. In a natural environment, odorants that intermingle from multiple sources create mixtures in which the onset and offset of odor components are asynchronous. Odor mixtures are known to elicit interactions in both behavioral and physiological responses, changing the perceptive quality of mixtures compared with the components. However, relevant odors need to be segregated from a distractive background. Honeybees (Apis mellifera) can use stimulus onset asynchrony of as little as 6 ms to segregate learned odor components within a mixture. Using in vivo calcium imaging of projection neurons in the honeybee, we studied neuronal mechanisms of odor-background segregation based on stimulus onset asynchrony in the antennal lobe. We found that asynchronous mixtures elicit response patterns that are different from their synchronous counterpart: the responses to asynchronous mixtures contain more information about the constituent components. With longer onset shifts, more features of the components were present in the mixture response patterns. Moreover, we found that the processing of asynchronous mixtures activated more inhibitory interactions than the processing of synchronous mixtures. This study provides evidence of neuronal mechanisms that underlie odor-object segregation on a timescale much faster than found for mammals.
