The neural basis for insect pheromonal communication.
Article in Current opinion in insect science, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Insects rely on chemosensory signals to drive a multitude of behavioral decisions. From conspecific and mate recognition to aggression, the proper detection and processing of these chemical signals - termed pheromones - is crucial for insects' fitness. While the identities and physiological impacts of diverse insect pheromones have been known for many years, how these important molecules are perceived and processed by the nervous system to produce evolutionarily beneficial behaviors is still mostly unknown. Here we present an overview of the current state of research into the peripheral and central nervous system mechanisms that process and drive behavioral responses to diverse pheromonal cues.
