Emotion Labeling in Pigeons.
Article in Affective science, 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
At an early age, humans learn words to communicate their affective states and generalize their identification across differing external conditions. One might call this collection of effects emotion labeling. Previous research investigating analogous effects in nonverbal animal models has largely used drug-induced affective states or metacognitive states that are difficult to control. Some progress has been made by conceptualizing affect as a point within a two-dimensional space with pleasure on one axis and arousal on the other. Distinct affective states may thus serve as cues that control both human and non-human behavior. If conditions supporting responding produce distinct affect, labeling in one circumstance may transfer to novel conditions that elicit the same affective state. The present experiment examined the labeling of affective states induced in pigeons via outcomes of either the delivery of food or its omission. These outcomes followed responses (pecks) made in the presence of three visual stimuli (
