Making "scents" of how plant volatiles influence agriculturally important insects: a review.
Review in Environmental entomology, 2026. 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
Plants emit hundreds, if not thousands, of different volatile chemical compounds, although the function of most individual volatiles remains elusive. Individual volatiles, as well as blends of many chemicals, are likely multifunctional in regulating plant interactions with different groups of insects, including herbivores, natural enemies, and pollinators. However, research on these insect groups has historically been siloed, limiting our understanding of connections between different volatile-mediated ecological processes and how to apply this knowledge to agroecosystems. Here, we review recent literature on volatile multifunctionality in mediating plant interactions with insect herbivores, natural enemies, and pollinators. Ultimately, we propose that future research shifts towards a holistic approach in the study of volatile-mediated interactions between plants and insect communities. By elucidating how specific volatiles, chemical classes, and blends regulate behaviors across different groups of insects, we will uncover new semiochemical tools for controlling pests and protecting beneficial insects in agroecosystems.
