1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Parental care enhances offspring survival but requires profound alteration of parental physiological and behavioural states. Among vertebrates, teleost fishes exhibit great diversity in parental strategies, providing opportunities to investigate how the brains of different species integrate internal and external cues to produce adaptive care behaviours. Key regulators of parenting include prolactin, vasopressin, oxytocin and gonadal steroids, showing that endocrine signals coordinate parental motivation, protection, and feeding behaviour. At the neural level, recent studies highlight the hypothalamus as central for the integration of reproductive and energetic states. Key regulators of the balance between offspring-directed behaviour and self-maintenance include neurons that express galanin, mirroring conserved motifs described in mammals. As emerging tools advance our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie fish parental care, we will gain deeper insights into the evolution of neural circuits for social behaviour.
