Star power: the emerging role of astrocytes as neuronal partners during cortical plasticity.
Review in Current opinion in neurobiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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
Plasticity is a fundamental property of neuronal circuits, allowing them to adapt to alterations in activation. Generally speaking, plasticity has been viewed from a 'neuron-centric' perspective, with changes in circuit function attributed to alterations in neuronal excitability, synaptic strength or neuronal connectivity. However, it is now clear that glial cells, in particular astrocytes, are key regulators of neuronal plasticity. This article reviews recent progress made in understanding astrocyte function and attempts to summarize these functions into a coherent framework that positions astrocytes as central players in the plasticity process.
