The Theoretical Evolution of Social Memory and the Core Contribution of the Medial Prefrontal Cortex.
Review in Neuroscience bulletin, 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
Social interaction is a process in which two or more conspecific individual information and engage with one another, mutually influencing each other's behavior. Within this framework, social cognition and social memory constitute fundamental components that enable adaptive social behaviors. Deficits in social cognition and memory have been implicated in various psychiatric disorders since social memory itself represents a core expression of episodic memory. In this review, we summarize the theoretical evolution of understanding the social cognitive memory from the grandmother cell hypothesis to the concept cells and engram assemblies, and highlight key neural mechanistic advances derived from studies in mice. We particularly focus on the social engram assemblies and their functions in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and further discuss the potential role of neural manifold analysis and neural attractor networks.
