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

Male moths utilize spatio-temporal female sex pheromone information to orient toward conspecific females. Pheromones are distributed as discontinuous plumes owing to air turbulence; thus, efficient tracking of intermittent stimuli is expected to require a high temporal resolution. Here, using pheromone binding protein (BmPBP1)-knockout silkmoths, we showed that a loss of functional PBP lowered the temporal sensory resolution of male antennae. This altered temporal resolution resulted in significantly reduced straight walking and longer turning behavior, which respectively occurred when males detected and lost contact with pheromones, indicating that temporal resolution was also lowered at the behavioral level.
