Long-term neighbor identity influences effectiveness of sagebrush responses to damage-induced volatiles of those neighbors.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Many organisms modify their behavior and morphology in response to alarm signals, reducing their risk of consumption. In animals, learning enhances responses to reliable alarm sources. Similarly, sagebrush increases resistance to herbivory when exposed to volatiles from damaged conspecifics, particularly when the sender and receiver share the same chemotype. However, it is unclear whether long-term exposure to a particular chemotypes improves responses to that cues. We tested this in sagebrush with thujone and camphor chemotypes. Camphor chemotypes experienced less damage overall than thujone chemotypes. As expected, branches exposed to volatiles suffered less herbivory than controls. Importantly, when a plant's chemotype matched both its volatile cue source and its long-term neighbors, resistance was strongest. This suggests that prolonged exposure to specific cues enhances induced resistance, raising the possibility that plants may become primed by their specific chemical environment over time.
