Stress-induced modulation of maternal behavior and mesolimbic dopamine function.
Article in Current opinion in behavioral sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
In humans, maternal stress exposure is associated with compromised quality of mother-infant interactions and increased risk for affective disorders that impair maternal care. These effects have been recapitulated in rodent studies employing postpartum stressors. Here, I provide a brief overview of recent studies showing stress-induced alterations in maternal behaviors in both humans and rodents. In addition, I review current literature indicating a role for mesolimbic dopamine function in maternal sensitivity and goal-directed responses and discuss its disruption by stress exposure.
