1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Despite extensive research into understanding synaptic mechanisms of striatal plasticity, the functional role played by astrocytes in this region remains to be fully elucidated. It was recently demonstrated that high-frequency stimulation (HFS) of cortical inputs induced long-term depression (LTD) mediated by adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) activation at corticostriatal synapses of the direct pathway [cortico-striatal projection neuron (dSPN)] in the dorsolateral striatum (DLS). Because astrocyte-derived adenosine has been shown to regulate synaptic transmission in several brain areas, we investigated whether this form of neuron-astrocyte signaling contributes to synaptic plasticity in the DLS of male and female mice. We found that cortical HFS increases calcium (Ca
