Understanding insect colour constancy.
Review in Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 2022. 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
Colour constancy is the ability to recognize the colour of objects despite spectral changes in the natural illumination. As such, this phenomenon is important for most organisms with good colour vision, and it has been intensively studied in humans and primates. Colour constancy is also documented for several species of insects, which is not surprising given the ecological importance of colour vision. But how do insects, with their small brains, solve the complex problem of colour vision and colour constancy? In an interspecies approach, this review reports on behavioural studies on colour constancy in bees, butterflies, moths and humans, corresponding computational models and possible neurophysiological correlates. This article is part of the theme issue 'Understanding colour vision: molecular, physiological, neuronal and behavioural studies in arthropods'.
