1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 sex-specific development of hippocampal learning in juveniles remains unclear. Using an inhibitory avoidance task, we assessed contextual learning in both sexes of juvenile rats. While sex hormone levels and activating effects are low in juveniles, females showed superior performance to males, suggesting that females have a shorter period of infantile amnesia than males. It was already known that when infants are cared for by mothers with high parenting behavior, they are likely to become high parenting mothers themselves. In addition, neonatal testosterone is known to masculinize the brain, causing behavioral, neural, and hormonal sex differences. Here, we reviewed the purposeful significance of sex-specific development for learning, along with the interaction of developmental changes in the hormonal environment.
