ESTraS, an easy and simple tracking system for assessing rodent behavior.
Article in Behavior research methods, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Animal behavior analysis software has become an essential tool in the life sciences. However, the currently available tools have some significant shortcomings that limit their use by individuals without programming skills, access to higher informatics resources, or the capability to invest large sums of money. We have developed and validated an easy-to-use and straightforward tracking system named ESTraS to address this issue. This freeware software allows researchers to track and analyze rodent behaviors, offering additional options such as trajectory and angle analysis. Through ESTraS, researchers can utilize unsupervised clustering techniques, such as k-means or hierarchical clustering, to further explore the obtained results. This clustering enables the classification of results based on observed similarities among subjects. The data of this manuscript shows that ESTraS can prove to be extremely valuable, not only by providing essential behavioral analysis tools but also by offering specific data analysis options with just one click.
