Blunted Reward Responsiveness During Social Feedback: Associations with Peer Victimization and Anhedonia in Socially Anxious Adolescents.
Article in Brain and behavior, 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
backgroundThe present pilot study aimed to (1) Characterize neural markers of reward sensitivity during periods of social stress; (2) Evaluate clinical relations between neural reward markers and anhedonia; and (3) Investigate if peer victimization was associated with ventral striatum (VS) suppression and anhedonia symptoms during social stress.
methodsA total of 28 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 17 (M
resultsResults revealed that when in the presence of social stress (defined as the potential for negative feedback), socially anxious adolescents demonstrated significantly suppressed VS activation relative to feedback anticipation. Additionally, the reduced VS activation during the outcome phase was significantly correlated with anhedonia. Moreover, relational peer victimization was associated with suppressed VS activation.
conclusionsFindings identify novel mechanisms associated with anhedonia and blunted reward processing in socially anxious youth that could be improved via interventions that target positive-valence systems.
