Why not both? A case study in measuring cortisol and corticosterone.
Article in Integrative organismal biology (Oxford, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
A general tenet in stress physiology is that the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis predominantly produces one glucocorticoid (GC) in response to stressors. However, most vertebrates produce both cortisol and corticosterone, these steroids show variation across species in absolute levels, relative proportions, and stress responsivity, and they regulate much more than just stress physiology. In the present commentary, we argue that focusing on a single GC may not capture the whole story, presenting an overview of previous studies and an example from our own work on poisons frogs-a group relatively new to endocrinological studies. We originally set out to validate non-invasive waterborne hormone measurements in our focal species, the dyeing poison frog
