Extracting spatial information from temporal odor patterns: insights from insects.
Review in Current opinion in insect science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Extracting spatial information from temporal stimulus patterns is essential for sensory perception (e.g. visual motion direction detection or concurrent sound segregation), but this process remains understudied in olfaction. Animals rely on olfaction to locate resources and dangers. In open environments, where odors are dispersed by turbulent wind, detection of wind direction seems crucial for odor source localization. However, recent studies showed that insects can extract spatial information from the odor stimulus itself, independently from sensing wind direction. This remarkable ability is achieved by detecting the fine-scale temporal pattern of odor encounters, which contains information about the location and size of an odor source, and the distance between different odor sources.
