Pheromone-Binding Proteins in Pest Control: From Molecular Insights to Real-World Applications.
Review in Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Insects utilize sophisticated olfactory systems to detect chemical cues critical for behaviors such as mating, host selection, and predator avoidance. In lepidopteran moths, sex pheromone communication offers a well-established model in which males detect female-emitted signals over long distances. Central to this process are pheromone-binding proteins (PBPs), which solubilize and transport hydrophobic pheromones through the sensillar lymph to olfactory receptors, enabling precise signal detection. Recent advances in molecular biology, structural biochemistry, and gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9 have uncovered nuanced mechanisms underlying PBP function, including ligand-binding specificity, pH-dependent conformational dynamics, and molecular interactions. These discoveries have broad implications, extending beyond chemosensory biology to applications in reverse chemical ecology, biosensing, and environmentally conscious pest control.
