  1. 01HumanSystematic reviewOther

    In a systematic review of interactive effects of intranasal oxytocin on psychosocial outcomes in healthy people, replications were largely unsuccessful when attempted.

    In plain wordsA review found that when researchers tried to repeat effects of nasal oxytocin on social behaviour, the repeats mostly failed.

    The current article contributes to this debate by reporting on and discussing key conclusions from a systematic review of published studies addressing the interactive effects of intranasal OT (IN-OT) administration on psychosocial outcomes in a healthy population.
  2. 02HumanSystematic reviewOther

    In a systematic review of interactive effects of intranasal oxytocin on psychosocial outcomes, statistical power was critically low and unrelated to the rate of significant results.

    In plain wordsA review found that studies of nasal oxytocin on social behaviour had very low statistical power.
