Neural systems for processing social relationship information along two principal dimensions.
Article in Communications biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Comprehending the social relationships of others is essential for daily social interactions. Previous research has revealed the neural substrates involved in inferring others' mental states and detecting social features. However, the neural bases underlying the processing of complex information about diverse human social relationships remain poorly understood. Here, using empirical data collected while participants viewed naturalistic movie clips and evaluated social relationships inside an fMRI scanner, we identify two primary dimensions underlying social relationship recognition. The first dimension reflects Amity-Hostility, while the second dimension encompasses Restrained Amity-Suppressive Hostility. Moreover, the first dimension is predominantly processed within a posterior cortical network centered around the posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS), while the second dimension is primarily processed within an anterior cortical network centered around the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). These findings suggest a framework for understanding the neural bases of human social recognition, emphasizing information-based processing along two principal dimensions, each engaging distinct neural systems in the brain.
