Validation of an Electrochemical Sensor to Detect Cortisol Responses to the Trier Social Stress Test.
Article in Neurobiology of stress, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Recent advances in sensor technology allow for the detection of salivary cortisol levels in real-time, yet studies are needed to test their reliability in clinically at-risk populations. This study examined whether a new electrochemical sensor reliably detected cortisol patterns, compared to a conventional immunoassay test (i.e., ELISA), among women and men with low and high depressive symptoms who participated in the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST; a laboratory-based stressor). Results demonstrated that women and those with high depressive symptoms showed lower cortisol levels throughout the TSST overall compared to men and those with low depressive symptoms. The cortisol sensor was highly reliable when compared to the ELISA immunoassay in detecting cortisol responses to the TSST for both women and men and for participants with low and high depressive symptoms. These results suggest that the sensor is a promising tool for assessing real-time cortisol responses to laboratory stressors in at-risk populations.
