Mechanistic exploration of royal jelly production in caged honey bees (Apis mellifera).
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
This study investigates the impact of bee pollen nutrition on the royal jelly production of honey bees (Apis mellifera). Results demonstrate that pollen diet significantly impacts hypopharyngeal gland (HPG) development and the expression of genes associated with royal jelly biosynthesis. Bees fed Brassica napus pollen exhibited superior HPG development, and increased mrjp1 expression (encoding a key royal jelly protein). While the cyp450 6AS8 gene expression (encoding a key enzyme in 10-HDA biosynthesis) was increased by pollen consumption, no distinct expression patterns were observed among the different pollen types tested. An in vitro bee cage platform for royal jelly production has been established to further understand the mechanisms behind royal jelly production in bees. The experiment demonstrated a positive correlation between the number of worker bees and the total yield of royal jelly per cage. However, when the number of worker bees is low, the amount of royal jelly each individual worker bee needs to produce increases. In conclusion, these findings enhance our understanding of the role of bee pollen nutrition in royal jelly production. Furthermore, the results from this in vitro bee cage platform suggest that the number of worker bees is a critical factor in royal jelly production, and that bees may possess a controllable mechanism for regulating royal jelly secretion.
