Relationship between salivary neuropeptide Y and performance under stress: a study on police firearms officers.
Article in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 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
Introduction: An emerging body of evidence suggests that plasma neuropeptide Y (NPY) concentration is positively associated with performance under conditions of psychological stress. However, whether NPY concentrations in saliva are associated with performance under stress remains unknown. Methods: We collected saliva samples in a high-performance environment and tested the associations between salivary NPY, self-reported psychological variables, and performance during a stressful task. Participants were 15 male police firearms officers (M Results and discussion: NPY concentrations were detected under both high- and low-stress conditions. Mean NPY levels (ng/mL) were higher before the high-stress shooting task (
