Bold zebrafish (Danio rerio) learn faster in a classical associative learning task.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Animals vary between individuals in their ability to learn and some sources of this variation can be the learning process and the individual's personality type. We investigated the relationship between learning and the bold-shy behavioral type by comparing performance of bold and shy zebrafish in conditioned place preference (CPP) and 2-choice tasks. Bold zebrafish learned significantly faster than the shy fish but there were no differences in their final performance in the CPP. When tested in the 2-choice task, we found no clear evidence of learning, however bold fish made more initial choices than shy fish. Overall, our study suggests that bold zebrafish tend to be faster learners when compared to shy zebrafish. The lack of differences in the final change in behavior suggests that learning differences may be due to how the animals initially interact with stimuli because of differences in neophobia.
