Maternal aggression driven by the transient mobilisation of a dormant hormone-sensitive circuit.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Aggression is a sexually dimorphic behaviour. In some species, including the laboratory mouse, it is robustly expressed in males - while females are not aggressive in the non-puerperal state. However, during nursing, females exhibit maternal aggression, a dramatic yet transient shift in their social behaviour repertoire. This phenotypic change occurring in adulthood presents an opportunity to investigate whether sex-biased behavioural programs depend on mono- or di-morphic neural circuits. While maternal hormones are known to elicit nursing, their role in maternal aggression, particularly regarding target sites and cellular mechanisms, remains unclear. Here, we show that a molecularly defined subset of mouse ventral premammillary (PMv
