Towards a unified biology of vertebrate number sense.
Review in Communications biology, 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
Number sense, the ability to estimate and compare numerical quantities, emerges early in development and is widespread across species. Despite decades of work on behavioural and neural correlates of numerosity, the genetic and mechanistic foundations remain poorly integrated. We propose a review and perspective that brings together evidence from vertebrates. Our unique focus relies on how genetic variation, brain lateralisation, and neural circuit organisation across development shape number cognition. We highlight zebrafish (Danio rerio) and chicks (Gallus gallus) as complementary comparative models that can uncover conserved principles and novel mechanisms, opening new avenues for studying the biological bases of numerical cognition and its disorders from the very early developmental stages.
