A detailed quantification of larval zebrafish behavioral repertoire uncovers principles of hunting behavior.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
During goal-directed behavior, animals select actions from a diverse repertoire of movements. Accurately quantifying this complex and high-dimensional repertoire is essential to uncovering the underlying rules that guide the behavior. Here, we developed a low-dimensional mathematical model that accurately reproduces the complete and continuous repertoire of hunting larval zebrafish. We show that fish position and change in heading angle following a movement are coupled, such that the choice of one of them limits the other. This repertoire structure uncovered fundamental principles of movements, showing that fish rotate around an identified rotation point and then move forward or backward. Moreover, it identified a new guiding rule of the hunt: fish turn to face the prey in each movement and then move forward or backward. These results present the first low-dimensional and continuous description of movements repertoire, uncover guiding behavioral rules, and offer insights into the underlying motor control.
