Neuroactive steroids and the pathophysiology of PTSD: Biomarkers for treatment targeting.
Review in Neuroscience and biobehavioral reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disabling psychiatric disorder that arises after acute or chronic exposure to threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence. The pathophysiology of PTSD is complex and involves dysregulation of multiple interacting brain regions and neurobiological systems including the sympathetic nervous system, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and the immune system. Deficient biosynthesis of neurosteroids that positively modulate GABA
