Suppression of olfactory signal transduction by insecticides.
Article in NPJ science of food, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
2,4,6-Trichloroanisole (TCA) is a well-known, potent off-flavour compound present in various foods and beverages. TCA has been hypothesised to be a universal cause of flavour loss experienced in daily life. Here, however, we show that titres for the suppression of olfactory transducer channels caused by low-quality bananas are much higher than those for that caused by the TCA itself contained in the banana. We resurveyed other components of low-quality bananas and found that bananas also contain an insecticide (chlorpyrifos), and that it suppresses olfactory transducer channels. Other insecticides also suppressed olfactory transducer channels. Hence, even after passing safety examinations, certain insecticides may decrease the quality of foods and beverages by reducing their intrinsic scents.
