Hot plate with carrageenan

From 2021 to 2025, 120 animal research papers mentioned carrageenan and the hot plate in their title or abstract.

That is 29% fewer than the 169 papers of 2011 to 2015. Between the same two periods, the papers that mention carrageenan and any of the 90 tests we count fell 31%. The 2021 to 2025 count may run low because of a dip in PubMed's indexing, explained under the year chart.

Papers that mention carrageenan and the hot plate fell from 30 in 2021 to 20 in 2024, then rose to 22 in 2025. Part of this dip may come from PubMed's indexing rather than from fewer studies. We take a paper's species from PubMed's indexing when the indexing names one. Otherwise PubTator 3, NCBI's text-mining service, has to find a species in the title or abstract, or the paper is not counted. Papers that PubMed indexed under the subject heading Animals also fell and rose, from 200,221 in 2021 to 156,447 in 2023 and 235,479 in 2025.

Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research and its title or abstract mentions carrageenan and the hot plate.

A paper that mentions either only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low. The search terms are in the list of models and techniques and the test list. The full method, with each source and its terms of use, is on our main page, Behavioral tests in published research.

More pairings

Every pairing of an animal model and a test with 30 or more papers from 2021 to 2025 has a page like this one.

The page on the hot plate counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on carrageenan ranks the tests mentioned with it.
