The behavioral neuroendocrinology of maternal behavior: Past accomplishments and future directions.
Review in Hormones and behavior, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Research on the neuroendocrine-endocrine-neural regulation of maternal behavior has made significant progress the past 50 years. In this mini-review progress during this period has been divided into five stages. These stages consist of advances in the identification of endocrine factors that mediate maternal care, the characterization of the neural basis of maternal behavior with reference to endocrine actions, the impact of developmental and experiential states on maternal care, the dynamic neuroplastic maternal brain, and genes and motherhood. A final section concludes with a discussion of future directions in the field of the neurobiology/neuroendocrinology of motherhood.
