Newborns' attention to socio-emotional prosodic cues from voices.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Voices are among the most salient stimuli for social interactions. From birth, we can process both linguistic and socio-emotional aspects of voices, but it is not clear how these cues contribute to voice processing. Using non-nutritive sucking, we examined newborns' attention to a nursery rhyme narrated by an actress, hummed by the same actress, and narrated by a synthesizer, thereby manipulating the weight of linguistic and socio-emotional cues. The role of prenatal auditory experiences in newborns' response and the relation between sucking variables as well as the cognitive underlying mechanisms were also explored. Results showed an inhibition of sucking behavior in the absence of socio-emotional prosodic cues and a relationship between sucking behavior and the prenatal exposure to maternal speech and music. Moreover, sucking variables clustered into two dimensions of effort and temporal regulation. Overall, these results underscore the role of socio-emotional prosodic cues in early voice processing and its relation with prenatal auditory experience.
