Social compatibility in opposite-sex prairie vole pairs is modulated by early-life sleep experience.
Article in PLoS biology, 2026. 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
Studies of human social behavior indicate stronger social affinity in matched-neurotype dyads (e.g., two individuals with autism or two without) compared to mixed-neurotype dyads (e.g., one individual with autism paired with one without). Is this dyad matching phenomenon also quantifiable in nonhuman animals? Using deep learning tools, we analyzed dyadic male-female interactions in prairie voles, a socially monogamous rodent species. To simulate "neurotypes", voles were exposed to either control conditions or early-life sleep disruption (ELSD) during a critical neurodevelopmental period (post-natal days 14-21), recapitulating the influence of developmental sleep quality on later-life social behavior. Analogous to human studies, voles showed signs of reduced social affinity in mixed dyads compared to matched dyads, including sex-specific changes in aggression and body orientation toward the conspecific. These findings advance our understanding of social affinity between potential partners, providing a framework for new studies in both animal models and humans.
