Papers that mention chemotherapy drugs and the von Frey test fell from 20 in 2021 to 17 in 2022, then rose to 26 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 species the papers used

Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research and its title or abstract mentions chemotherapy drugs and the von Frey test.

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 von Frey test counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on chemotherapy drugs ranks the tests mentioned with it.
