Rethinking the role of taste processing in insular cortex and forebrain circuits.
Article in Current opinion in physiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Over the years, many approaches towards studying the taste-responsive area of insular cortex have focused on how basic taste information is represented, and how lesions or silencing of this area impact taste-focused behaviors. Here, we review and highlight recent studies that imply that insular cortex does not contain a "primary" taste cortex in the traditional sense. Rather, taste is employed in concert with other internal and external sensory modalities by highly interconnected regions of insular cortex to guide ingestive decision-making, especially in context of estimating risk and reward. In rodent models, this may best be seen in context of foraging behaviors, which require flexibility and are dependent on learning and memory processes.
