Forced swim test with AAV vectors

From 2021 to 2025, 50 animal research papers mentioned AAV vectors and the forced swim test in their title or abstract.

There were 9 such papers in 2011 to 2015. We compare the two periods only when each has 10 or more papers.

50 animal research papers from 2021 to 2025 mentioned AAV vectors and the forced swim test
9% of the 546 papers from 2021 to 2025 that mention AAV vectors and a test mention the forced swim test
2% of the 2,988 papers from 2021 to 2025 that mention the forced swim test also mention AAV vectors
9 papers in 2011 to 2015, fewer than the 10 needed to compare

Which species the papers used

Each bar is a share of the 50 papers from 2021 to 2025. A paper can use more than one species, so the shares can add to more than 100%.

Tests mentioned alongside the forced swim test

Each bar is one test, with how many of the 50 papers also mention it, and what share that is. Of these papers, 6 (12%) mention no other test.

Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research and its title or abstract mentions AAV vectors and the forced swim 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 a brain technique and a test with 30 or more papers from 2021 to 2025 has a page like this one.

The page on the forced swim test counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on AAV vectors ranks the tests mentioned with it.
