Automated thermal gradient test for unprovoked assessment of nociceptive preference in rodents.
Article in Frontiers in behavioral neuroscience, 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
In animal models, reflexive responses to noxious stimuli (e.g., paw withdrawal in von Frey, Hargreaves, or cold plantar tests) are largely spinal reflexes and their quantitative measures (latency or threshold) may not directly reflect clinically relevant pain perception as assessed by human quantitative sensory testing, which captures both conscious sensory and affective components of pain as a subjective experience. This study aims to develop a complementary behavioral testing strategy for rapidly and automatically detecting rodents' thermal responses under different pain conditions without human interference. A device is engineered to create a linear thermal gradient from 4 °C to 58 °C along a long aluminum floor of four equal-size corridors, each having a dimension of 137 cm × 10 cm × 22 cm (
