[Stress and the immune system].
Review in Die Naturwissenschaften, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Research in psychoneuroimmunology has demonstrated that biopsychosocial factors such as psychological stress can influence the immune system. Chronic stress has been associated with the suppression of the immune function. In contrast, acute psychological stressors and physical exercise have been shown to transiently enhance immune responses. These stress effects on immunity seem to be mediated via endocrine factors, since hormones, neurotransmitters, and neuropeptides can interact with cellular components of the immune system. In summary, experimental and clinical evidence suggests a functional relationship between stress, immunity, and diseases.
