Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution.
Review in Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 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
Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs. In this review, we place molecular evidence of OR function into the context of their three-dimensional structure, focusing on both tuning ORs and their co-receptor, Orco, as well as their interaction. We also used AlphaFold2 to model the structures of several deorphanized receptors and mapped the experimentally identified residues important for function, revealing putative functional hotspots. We discuss several efficient methods for functional evolution studies and propose emerging technologies that may open avenues for further research and innovation.
