Impact of Sex and Salivary Dehydroepiandrosterone on the Association Between Testosterone and Emotion Dysregulation.

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
Adolescence is marked by changes in affect-related processing that allow individuals to learn from, and adapt to, their socioemotional environments. Although this flexibility allows for greater adaptation, it also confers unique vulnerability, marked by a rise in emotion dysregulation and risk for psychopathology. Mounting evidence implicates adolescent changes in pubertal hormones in the emergence of emotion dysregulation and sex differences therein. Specifically, the literature suggests that pubertal hormones influence brain regions relevant to emotion regulation. Despite evidence that these hormones do not operate in isolation (i.e., they can have a modulatory impact on one another), their interactive effects remain largely unexamined in the context of emotion dysregulation. This marks a critical gap in the literature, as examining hormones in isolation overlooks their interdependent effects, thus limiting our ability to interpret their individual contributions. To address this gap, we examined the interactive impact of two key hormones-dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and testosterone-on self-reported emotion dysregulation in adolescents, along with biological sex differences in these relationships. Participants were 73 community adolescents (aged 11-14; 50.7% assigned male at birth, 68.5% White). Analyses revealed a three-way interaction between DHEA, testosterone, and sex (p = 0.010). Probing revealed that higher testosterone was associated with decreased dysregulation but only among female adolescents with higher relative DHEA (p = 0.039). Thus, exposure to relatively higher DHEA may dampen the impact of testosterone on emotion dysregulation. This has implications for understanding the role of hormonal context and sex differences in the onset and maintenance of emotion dysregulation and related psychopathology in adolescence.
