1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Temperature sensation contributes to human enjoyment of foods and beverages. The mouthfeel of warmed foods or drinking ice-cold water on a hot day are respectively pleasant and refreshing. Although historically under-studied for a role in food preference, new data have shed light on how oral temperature sensing and thermoreceptor mechanisms inside the mouth influence ingestive acceptance behaviors in rodent models used in flavor neurobiology. Moreover, recent functional data have uncovered a broad diversity of thermosensory neurons in primary afferents and brain pathways that signal oral temperature. This review will discuss some of the progress made in these areas. Ultimately, unraveling the biological basis of oral temperature sensing will be critical to reveal how thermosensory factors interact with other orosensory modalities to shape ingestive preferences. Elucidating oral thermal processing will also be key for establishing general principles of temperature coding by the nervous system.
