Do Helicoverpa armigera Moths Signal Their Fecundity by Emission of an Antagonist?
Article in Journal of chemical ecology, 2020. 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
Female Helicoverpa armigera emit a pheromone, comprised of a 98:2 ratio of (Z)-11-hexadecenal to (Z)-9-hexadecenal, to attract males. It has been proposed that "immature" female H. armigera modulate attraction of males by emitting an antagonist, (Z)-11-hexadecenol, along with pheromone during the first two nights of calling. However, it is unclear why females would call and simultaneously release pheromone and an antagonist. We conducted observations of female calling during the first five nights after adult emergence to determine periodicity. We also measured the relative abundance of (Z)-11-hexadecenol to the major component, (Z)-11-hexadecenal, on the surface of the gland of calling females and compared it to the ratio of these two compounds inside the gland over the first three nights after adult emergence to determine how much antagonist may be released. We found that young females (< 1-d-old) are unlikely to call and, based on the relative proportion of (Z)-11-hexadecenol on the gland surface, even if they did call would be unlikely to release sufficient (Z)-11-hexadecenol to diminish male attraction.
