Dentate gyrus and CA3 activity mediates light-tone second-order conditioning expression in mice.
Article in iScience, 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
Second-order conditioning (SOC) enables animals to form predictions about their environment without direct reinforcement. Although the neural basis of first-order conditioning (FOC) is well characterized, the circuits supporting SOC recall remain unclear. Here, we investigated the brain regions and cell types involved in SOC retrieval in mice and addressed the challenge of quantifying brain-wide neural activity. Using a light-tone SOC paradigm in TRAP2:Ai14 mice, we tagged neurons active during SOC recall by expressing tdTomato fluorescent protein. We quantified the fluorescent cells in brain slices with CellRake, a self-developed Python package. We applied generalized linear models that revealed that activity in the dentate gyrus (DG) and cornu ammonis 3 (CA3) subfields of the dorsal hippocampus was associated with SOC-related behavioral responses.
