Bridging human and animal personality: A behavioral test to assess reward sensitivity.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Accounting for individual differences in depression or resilience is crucial to ensure individualized well-being. Differences in tendencies to approach rewards and avoid threats reflect personality and help to understand what animals want and like. At the neural level, these tendencies involve the behavioral activation system (BAS) and the behavioral inhibition system (BIS). We developed a test to investigate reactions to rewards and approach-avoidance conflicts using the domestic pig as a model. After testing 101 piglets, we showed that this test is reproducible, highly repeatable, and linked with classic personality dimensions assessed with four established personality tests. We report on individual tendencies related to approach-avoidance conflicts (BIS) and reward responsiveness (BAS), which are connected to specific personality traits. These findings address the gap between human and non-human animal personality research. Our study explores individual differences in perceived rewards, which have strong implications in promoting positive animal welfare and mental health.
