YORU: Animal behavior detection with object-based approach for real-time closed-loop feedback.
Article in Science advances, 2026. 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
The advent of deep learning methodologies for animal behavior analysis has revolutionized neuroethology studies. However, the analysis of social behaviors, characterized by dynamic interactions among multiple individuals, continues to represent a major challenge. In this study, we present "YORU" (your optimal recognition utility), a behavior detection approach leveraging an object detection deep learning algorithm. Unlike conventional approaches, YORU directly identifies behaviors as "behavior objects" based on the animal's shape, enabling robust and accurate detection. YORU successfully classified several types of social behaviors in species ranging from vertebrates to insects. Furthermore, YORU enables real-time behavior analysis and closed-loop feedback. In addition, we achieved real-time delivery of photostimulation feedback to specific individuals during social behaviors, even when multiple individuals are close together. This system overcomes the challenges posed by conventional pose estimation methods and presents an alternative approach for behavioral analysis.
