Replacement of the terminal methyl group in a moth sex pheromone component by a halogen atom: Hydrophobicity and size effects on electrophysiological single-cell activities.
Article in Journal of chemical ecology, 1991. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Analogs of (Z)-5-decenyl acetate, a pheromone component of the turnip moth,Agrotis segetum, with a chloro, bromo, or iodo substituent in place of the terminal methyl group have been synthesized and tested by electrophysiological single-sensillum recordings. The electrophysiological results have been interpreted in terms of substituent size and hydrophobicity. Interaction energies based on receptor interaction models have been calculated using the molecular mechanics [MM2(85)] method. The results support our previously suggested receptor interaction model in which the terminal alkyl chain interact with a complementary hydrophobic receptor "pocket" with very limited flexibility.
