Neurobiological mechanisms and treatment of empathic pain in nonsuicidal self-injury.
Review in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2026. 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
Empathic pain is defined as the experience of vicarious pain resulting from the observation of another person's suffering, and it involves complex neurobiological pathways that parallel those involved in direct pain perception. The intricate link between nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and empathic pain lies in the fact that they share certain neurobiological mechanisms, particularly in the areas of emotion regulation and pain perception, and both phenomena involve brain networks involved in pain processing, emotion regulation, and social cognition. This review examines the current understanding of these mechanisms, including cellular and molecular pathways, changes in neural networks, and factors that influence the development of empathic pain. It also explores potential therapeutic strategies to address the complex interactions between empathic pain and NSSI, focusing on psychological interventions, pharmacological approaches, and novel neurostimulation techniques.
