Sulfoxaflor Impairs Bumblebee Memory Across Moderate and Extreme Temperatures.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2025. 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
Pesticide exposure and climate change are key drivers of pollinator declines. Exposure to certain pesticides and high temperatures can influence the cognitive ability of insect pollinators, such as bees, but little is known about how these stressors interact. As central place foragers, bees must learn and remember floral cues, and so impaired memory may influence foraging efficiency and fitness. While individual exposure to specific pesticides and high temperatures can impair bee memory, the interactions between these two key stressors remain poorly understood. Here, using a free-moving proboscis extension reflex experimental design, we assessed the impact of an acute, field-realistic dose of the insecticide sulfoxaflor on bumblebee (
