On the chemistry of 1-pyrroline in solution and in the gas phase.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
1-Pyrroline has a highly characteristic odor, which is employed by living organisms for chemical signaling and other purposes, but the mechanism whereby this odor is formed remains poorly understood. Here we used a combination of ambient mass spectrometry (AMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to experimentally address the mechanistic aspects of 1-pyrroline volatility and other controversies regarding the chemistry of this compound. Our results indicate that in solution the volatility of the monomer species is significantly higher than that of the trimer species, and 1-pyrroline is evaporated mainly in its monomer state. Neat 1-pyrroline is essentially the pure trimer and displays ca. 100-fold lower evaporation rate than the monomer state in solution. In the gas-phase the trimer species is irreversibly decomposed into monomer species. Under equilibrium conditions the vapor of 1-pyrroline entirely consists of monomer species. The evaporation rate of 1-pyrroline in water has a step-wise dependence on the solution pH, the abrupt increase in volatility (>1,000-fold) occurring around the pKa value of 1-pyrroline (6.8). The pronounced step-wise dependence of 1-pyrroline volatility around neutral pH may also be an important evolutionary factor allowing living systems to regulate the odor strength from very weak to very strong with minimal efforts.
