Neural correlates of power-related postures and their behavioural consequences: a preliminary electrophysiological investigation.
Article in Social cognitive and affective neuroscience, 2025. 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
Social dominance is conveyed by expansive and contractive body postures, which also have feedback effects on individuals' own mood and behaviour. These feedback effects are the subject of the 'power posing' paradigm, which has grown in popularity in psychology; however, the neural mechanisms of feedback from expansive and contractive postures have never been investigated. We report here for the first time an exploratory neuroimaging study using electroencephalography during a 'power posing' design to investigate the neural correlates of this effect. We find that right-lateralized frontal asymmetry in neural activity was increased as a result of taking an expansive posture and that this asymmetry was correlated with the effects the posture exerted on participants' mood. We interpret this finding in the context of recent theories of frontal alpha asymmetry and motivational conflict.
