Trial reportPsychopharmacology2021
Effect of oxytocin nasal spray on auditory automatic discrimination measured by mismatch negativity.
Trial report in Psychopharmacology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
rationaleAs a treatment for cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia, oxytocin nasal sprays potentially improve social cognition, facial expression recognition, and sense of smell. Mismatch negativity (MMN) is an event-related potential (ERP) reflecting auditory discrimination while MMN deficits reflect cognitive function decline in schizophrenia.
objectivesTo determine whether oxytocin nasal spray affects auditory MMN
methodsWe measured ERPs in healthy subjects during an auditory oddball task, both before and after oxytocin nasal spray administration. Forty healthy subjects were randomly assigned to either the oxytocin or placebo group. ERPs were recorded during the oddball task for all subjects before and after a 24 international unit (IU) intranasal administration, and MMN was compared between the two groups.
resultsParticipants who received oxytocin had significantly shorter MMN latencies than those who received a placebo. Oxytocin had no significant effect on the Change in MMN amplitude.
conclusionsThe shortened MMN latencies that were observed after oxytocin nasal spray administration suggest that oxytocin may promote the comparison-decision stage.
