Integrating behaviour, physiology, and immune response to social stress in fish.
Review in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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
Dominance hierarchies in fish are established through conflicts and lead to significant differences in stress physiology, behaviour, and immune function between dominant and subordinate individuals. This review explores the relationship between social stress within these hierarchies, individual variations in stress responses and cognitive bias towards stressful situations, and the impact of conflicts on future performance and interactions between stress and the immune system. Fish express divergent stress coping styles (proactive and reactive) that differ in the reactivity of the stress axes ending with the release of the major stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol). Social stressors, like conflicts, are perceived differently by proactive and reactive fish, leading to varying levels of stress hormone release. The stress hormones interact with the immune system, changing individuals' ability to fight off pathogens. Pro-inflammatory cytokines highly activated in reactive individuals under stress can provide feedback to the monoaminergic system in the brain, resulting in depression-like, anxiety-like, or "sickness" behaviour. The review also discusses strategies for reducing social stress in fish and enhancing their overall health in aquaculture, while emphasising the importance of considering these factors in research settings to prevent data bias.
