Insects in variable environments: thermal performance, standard metabolic rate, and strategies to escape its limitations.
Review in Journal of comparative physiology. B, Biochemical, systemic, and environmental physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Temperature is a decisive factor for life on earth because chemical reaction speed increases with temperature. Insects are ectothermic at rest, and in this way are subject to the direct influence of environmental temperature on growth, development and reproduction. Thermal performance curves (thermal reaction norms) describe the change of metabolism and development speed with temperature, which increase with temperature differently in different species and developmental stages. This review summarizes the main principles and findings on these relationships in insects, provides hints on how to measure respiratory performance curves, and reports different attempts to describe them mathematically. In addition, it summarizes some behavioral and physiological strategies insects have developed to escape the limitations of their thermal performance relationships.
