The Effects of Social vs. Individual Housing of Zebrafish on Whole-Body Cortisol and Behavior in Two Tests of Anxiety.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Two of the most used models of anxiety in zebrafish research, the novel tank-diving test (NTDT) and the black-white preference test (BWPT), are modifications of assays used in rodent research (open field test and light/dark test). There has been a thorough validation of these tests in rodents, but a similar level of knowledge is still missing in zebrafish. Adult zebrafish naturally live in shoals with conspecifics, and group housing is therefore assumed to be the optimal housing condition for zebrafish, as it allows for shoaling behavior. This study investigated how housing in social isolation affected whole-body cortisol and the behavioral responses in the NTDT and BWPT. We also examined the correlation between the behavioral responses in the two behavioral tests. We found that zebrafish housed in groups had significantly higher whole-body cortisol than individually housed zebrafish (F
