1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: The present study aims to identify differences in behavioral profiles in post-pubertal C57BL/6J males and female mice across distinct phases of the reproductive cycle in a home cage environment. Methods: To reduce human bias, we used an automated behavioral analysis system Results: Females exhibited higher levels of physically demanding activities, including ambulatory and exploratory movements, particularly during estrus and metestrus, with estrus showing up to 30% more activity than males. In contrast, males consistently engaged in more sleep-related behaviors across all phases, with significantly higher engagement during the light cycle compared to females in proestrus and estrus ( Discussion: Our study has revealed prevalent behavioral differences due to sex, and inter-phase variations by employing a continuous monitoring approach designed to reduce bias. This methodology ensures a comprehensive understanding of natural behavioral patterns and strategies.
