Oxytocin.
Review in Current biology : CB, 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
Oxytocin is a small, nine amino acid peptide synthesized and released mostly in the brain. It was discovered first as a hormone that facilitates labor and lactation but has since attracted interest for having important roles in social bonding. Although sometimes informally called a 'love hormone', this is erroneous and does not accurately reflect the biological action of oxytocin across different contexts. Here we provide an overview of the organization of the oxytocin system, which subserves different biological functions that ultimately coordinate physiological and behavioral states supporting reproductive success (Figure 1).
