1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 is dynamically shaped by internal states and external social contexts. This study examines how internal states and social buffering influence aggression and social behavior. Food deprivation and mirror stimuli amplified aggression and reduced exploratory activity, highlighting a state-dependent shift in behavioral priorities. However, the presence of conspecific cues significantly mitigated aggression, irrespective of hunger, underscoring the regulatory role of social interaction. These results demonstrate the critical interplay between metabolic and social factors in modulating stress-related behaviors and position zebrafish as a powerful model for unraveling the neurobiological mechanisms underlying social modulation and adaptive behavioral strategies.
