The role of the caudate nucleus in taste function: a comprehensive narrative review.
Review in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2026. 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
The caudate nucleus, a key component of the dorsal striatum, has traditionally been recognized for its roles in motor control and cognitive functions. However, emerging neuroimaging and neurophysiological findings show its crucial involvement in gustatory function as well. The papers analyzed in this comprehensive overview indicate that the caudate nucleus and dorsal striatum exhibit consistent activation during gustatory stimulation, respond to different metabolic states, motivation, and hedonic value, and interact with regions involved in reward and emotional processing across health and disease. Even if these results are promising, experimental designs are frequently heterogeneous, so more evidence is needed to elucidate the link between taste and these subcortical regions. This approach may provide new perspectives on the neural substrates of chemosensation and potential targets for taste-related interventions.
