1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Emotions play a central role in social interactions and associations, and they are regulated by multiple regions of the human brain. In this review, we focus primarily, almost exclusively, on the amygdala, highlighting functional and structural changes related to behavioral interactions that may occur within diverse social groups, including families, cultural associations, and political organizations, each typically structured around leaders and followers. More specifically, we examine political parties in democratic societies, after first outlining how the relationship between brain structure, particularly the amygdala, and behavior has evolved from non-human primates to humans, and how structural and behavioral changes may arise through aging or disease.
