Affective bodily responses in monkeys predict subsequent pessimism, but not vice versa.
Article in Proceedings. Biological sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Affect is a complex interplay of behaviour, physiology, cognition and subjective feelings. The James-Lange theory, which posits that affective bodily responses occur first and subsequently shape our affective experiences, has been extensively studied in humans but remains underexplored in non-human animals. This study employs a judgement bias test to explore the relationship between peripheral bodily responses, specifically self-scratching associated with negative affect, and shifts in cognitive information-processing modes (i.e. a 'pessimistic' judgement bias characterized by heightened anticipation of undesirable outcomes) in Japanese macaques (
