Treadmill running in diabetes research

From 2021 to 2025, 114 animal research papers on diabetes mentioned treadmill running in their title or abstract.

That is 1.3 times the 86 papers of 2011 to 2015. Between the same two periods, the papers on diabetes that mention any of the 90 tests we count grew faster, to 1.9 times as many.

Which species the papers used

Each bar is a share of the 114 papers from 2021 to 2025. A paper can use more than one species, so the shares can add to more than 100%.

Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research, mentions treadmill running in its title or abstract, and studies diabetes.

We tell whether a paper studies diabetes from its MeSH terms, the subject headings the National Library of Medicine adds when it indexes a paper. For a paper without MeSH terms, PubTator 3, NCBI's text-mining service, has to find the disease in the title or abstract. A paper can count under more than one disease model. A paper that mentions the test only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low.

The page on diabetes research names the subject headings we count as diabetes. Download the test list for the search terms we used for treadmill running, or the paper list for the PubMed ID of every paper behind these counts. Our main page, Behavioral tests in published research, has the full method and each source's terms of use.

More tests and disease models

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

The page on treadmill running counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on diabetes research ranks the tests by their papers on diabetes.
