Behavioral characterization of triple-hit schizophrenia-like Lisket rats derived from the Long Evans strain through acute and chronic behavioral tests.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Background: Automated homecage systems provide valuable insights into rodent behavior in an undisturbed environment over extended periods. This study aims to identify behavioral differences between Long Evans (LE) rats (control) and a novel triple-hit schizophrenia model (Lisket), developed through selective breeding based on schizophrenia-related behavioral alterations following juvenile social isolation and ketamine treatment. Methods: Pain sensitivity (tail-flick test), behavioral activity, and cognitive function were assessed in acute tests (Ambitus test) and chronic conditions (HomeManner system with a delay discount paradigm). Results: Lisket rats exhibited significantly increased pain sensitivity, reduced locomotion and exploration, and impaired learning ability. While all LE rats learned to prefer the large-dose reward tray, only 69% of Lisket rats demonstrated this preference. Although Lisket rats displayed significant cognitive deficits, particularly under delay conditions, no clear signs of heightened impulsivity were detected. Personalized analysis revealed substantial interindividual variability in both groups, accompanied by high intraindividual fluctuations across different parameters. Conclusions: This study provides the first comprehensive behavioral characterization of the Lisket model, a triple-hit schizophrenia-like rat strain derived from Long Evans rats, under both acute and chronic testing conditions. The automated, experimenter-free approach used in this study offers a promising tool for complex behavioral assessment. Furthermore, the findings emphasize the importance of individualized behavioral analysis alongside group-level assessments to enhance the translational validity of preclinical neuropsychiatric research.
