Neural mechanism of dopamine modulating singing related behavior in songbirds: an updated review.
Review in PeerJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Similar to human language, songbird singing is a complex motor skill learning behavior that is regulated by an interconnected network of neural nuclei in the brain. This network of nuclei demonstrates structural homology with human vocal control-related brain regions and shares common regulatory mechanisms for vocal learning. As an important neurotransmitter, dopamine plays a key role in the learning and maintenance of songbirds' singing behavior. Studies have demonstrated that the dopaminergic system plays a critical role in regulating the plasticity of singing via the midbrain dopamine pathway, which projects to the song control circuit. Novel experimental techniques, such as optogenetic circuit manipulation and neural activity monitoring, have significantly advanced our understanding of the cellular and synaptic mechanisms underlying vocalization behavior of dopamine effects. This review offers an updated insight into the neural mechanisms by which dopamine modulates singing-related behavior, along with future prospects for utilizing dopamine in the treatment of speech-related disorders.
