Conventional and Organic Wheat Germ Have Distinct Physiological Effects in the Tobacco Hornworm,
Article in Frontiers in insect science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Stored grains used in artificial diets are often treated with insecticides to control infestation by pests. In recent years, insect growth regulators (IGRs) have become an increasingly popular form of insect pest control in agricultural settings. Most IGRs specifically target insects by either disrupting their endocrine system or their chitin synthesis. One type of IGRs comprises of chemical analogs of juvenile hormone (JH), a major hormone involved in growth and development of insects. Here we demonstrate that conventional wheat germ contains JH activity and impacts growth and development of the tobacco hornworm,
