Proximity in mice induced by an auditory-conditioned stimulus.
Article in Neuropsychopharmacology : official publication of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, 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 affiliation promotes survival and well-being across species, and proximity to conspecifics is a necessary precondition for affiliative contact. While innate threats reliably increase proximity among conspecifics, whether learned threats have the same effect remains unknown. Here, we report that an auditory conditioned stimulus (CS) induces proximity in mice. In same-sex dyads, fear-conditioned mice increased proximity during CS presentation, independent of freezing levels. This CS-evoked proximity required familiarity between partners and intact basolateral amygdala-to-ventral hippocampus inputs, demonstrated by DREADD-mediated suppression. It also required oxytocin receptor signaling, demonstrated by systemic administration of the antagonist L368,899. These findings suggest that learned and innate threats engage shared neural circuitry for social proximity.
