Longitudinal tracking of dyadic body temperature synchrony in social pairs across species.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Social behavior shapes efficient vocal communication and broadly impacts our mental health. While social interactions have been suggested to synchronize daily rhythmicity or even brain activity, examining biophysical signals across naturally behaving individuals in a non-intrusive manner remains challenging. Here, we developed a lightweight, miniature wireless thermo-sensor device and implanted it subcutaneously in pairs of mice or zebra finches to track body temperature fluctuations continuously in their home cages. In both species, longitudinal monitoring revealed increased body temperature synchrony between co-housed pairs despite differing social contexts. Notably, Spearman correlation coefficients differed most during huddled sleep phases, being higher in nocturnal mice and lower in diurnal zebra finches when compared to their active social interactions during waking. Our innovative wearable thermo-sensors provide a powerful new tool for further investigating underlying brain mechanisms when combined with simultaneous monitoring of neuronal activity to inspire translatable biomarkers for clinical targets and improved methods for efficient social learning.
