Neurosteroid production in the songbird brain: a re-evaluation of core principles.
Review in Frontiers in neuroendocrinology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
Concepts of brain-steroid signaling have traditionally placed emphasis on the gonads and adrenals as the source of steroids, the strict dichotomy of early developmental ("organizational") and mature ("activational") effects, and a relatively slow mechanism of signaling through intranuclear receptors. Continuing research shows that these concepts are not inaccurate, but they are certainly incomplete. In this review, we focus on the song control circuit of songbird species to demonstrate how each of these concepts is limited. We discuss the solid evidence for steroid synthesis within the brain ("neurosteroidogenesis"), the role of neurosteroids in organizational events that occur both early in development and later in life, and how neurosteroids can act in acute and non-traditional ways. The songbird model therefore illustrates how neurosteroids can dramatically increase the diversity of steroid-sensitive brain functions in a behaviorally-relevant system. We hope this inspires further research and thought into neurosteroid signaling in songbirds and other animals.
