Comparative insights into insula structure and function.
Review in Nature 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 insular cortex has become an increasingly important focus of neuroscientific research because of its broad involvement in psychological and behavioral processes and its dysfunction in neuropsychiatric, developmental, degenerative and metabolic disorders. The insula is easily imaged in the human brain and is also a key target for both fundamental and translational studies in nonhuman animals. However, owing to a dearth of truly comparative studies on the insula, the extent to which this region shares structural and functional homologies between humans, monkeys and rodents remains incompletely understood. Here, we systematically evaluate current knowledge regarding homologies in the insula among model species and humans. We examine the strengths and limitations of various laboratory species for investigating the insula, and discuss how these factors influence the interpretation of findings and their application to the human insula. Finally, we propose research directions aimed at strengthening translational insula research and enhancing our understanding of cross-species similarities and differences.
