The gut microbiota composition of Trichoplusia ni is altered by diet and may influence its polyphagous behavior.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
Insects are known plant pests, and some of them such as Trichoplusia ni feed on a variety of crops. In this study, Trichoplusia ni was fed distinct diets of leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana or Solanum lycopersicum as well as an artificial diet. After four generations, the microbial composition of the insect gut was evaluated to determine if the diet influenced the structure and function of the microbial communities. The population fed with A. thaliana had higher proportions of Shinella, Terribacillus and Propionibacterium, and these genera are known to have tolerance to glucosinolate activity, which is produced by A. thaliana to deter insects. The population fed with S. lycopersicum expressed increased relative abundances of the Agrobacterium and Rhizobium genera. These microbial members can degrade alkaloids, which are produced by S. lycopersicum. All five of these genera were also present in the respective leaves of either A. thaliana or S. lycopersicum, suggesting that these microbes are acquired by the insects from the diet itself. This study describes a potential mechanism used by generalist insects to become habituated to their available diet based on acquisition of phytochemical degrading gut bacteria.
