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

Artificial intelligence (AI) provides new opportunities for high-resolution behavioral analysis and automated, human-free experiments. Here we present AVATAR (AI Vision Analysis for Three-dimensional Action in Real-time). This AI-driven system reconstructs 3D mouse motions by detecting key body parts from synchronized multi-view videos and converting into action skeletons. AVATAR achieves near-human accuracy in pose estimation, enables robust extraction of kinematic and postural features, and supports scalable analysis of model animal behaviors. Using these features represented by 3D action skeleton, LSTM-based model reliably classifies freely moving mouse behaviors during various experimental paradigms with low-latency processing (100 ms) enables real-time closed-loop optogenetic stimulation. As a demonstration of generalizability, we applied AVATAR framework to bottom-view predatory hunting paradigm. AVATARnet accurately detected mouse poses and extracted dynamic behavioral features of the mouse. Using AVATARnet-driven dynamic features, an XGBoost-based classifier automated action segmentation annotation during complex predatory chasing behavior. Together, AVATAR provides 3D pose estimation, dynamic quantification, classification, and closed-loop manipulation in real-time.
