Parallel Multimodal Circuits Control an Innate Foraging Behavior.
Article in Neuron, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 52 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
Foraging strategies emerge from genetically encoded programs that are similar across animal species. Here, we examine circuits that control a conserved foraging state, local search behavior after food removal, in Caenorhabditis elegans. We show that local search is triggered by two parallel groups of chemosensory and mechanosensory glutamatergic neurons that detect food-related cues. Each group of sensory neurons suppresses distinct integrating neurons through a G protein-coupled metabotropic glutamate receptor, MGL-1, to release local search. The chemosensory and mechanosensory modules are separate and redundant; glutamate release from either module can drive the full behavior. A transition from local search to global search over several minutes after food removal is associated with two changes in circuit function. First, the spontaneous activity of sensory neurons falls. Second, the motor pattern generator for local search becomes less responsive to sensory input. This multimodal, distributed short-term food memory provides robust control of an innate behavior.
