Animated images in the analysis of zebrafish behavior.
Article in Current zoology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This invited review is based upon a recent oral paper I presented at the Virtual Reality Symposium of the 34th International Ethological Conference (2015, Cairns, Australia), and as such it describes studies conducted mainly in my own laboratory. It reviews how we utilized visual stimuli for inducing behavioral responses in the zebrafish with a focus on shoaling, group forming behavior. The zebrafish is gaining increasing popularity in neuroscience. With this interest, its behavior is also more frequently studied. One of the many advantages of the zebrafish over traditional laboratory rodents is that this species is diurnal, and it relies heavily upon its visual system. Thus, similarly to our own species, zebrafish respond to visual stimuli in a robust and easily quantifiable manner. For the past decade, we have been exploring how to use such visual stimuli, and have developed numerous paradigms with which we can induce and quantify a variety of behavioral responses, including shoaling. This review summarizes some of these studies, and discusses questions including whether one should use live fish as stimulus, whether and how one could present animated (moving images) of fish, and how one could optimize a range of stimulus presentation parameters to elicit the most robust responses in zebrafish. Although the zebrafish is a relative newcomer in ethology and behavioral neuroscience, and although many of our findings only represent the first steps in this research, our results suggest that the behavioral analysis of the zebrafish will have an important place in biomedical research.
