Microglia Loss and Astrocyte Activation Cause Dynamic Changes in Hippocampal [
Article in Frontiers in cellular neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Major depression is a serious and chronic mental illness. However, its etiology is poorly understood. Although glial cells have been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of depression, the specific role of microglia and astrocytes in stress-induced depression remains unclear. Translocator protein (TSPO) has long been considered a marker of neuroinflammation and microglial activation. However, this protein is also present on astrocytes. Thus, it is necessary to explore the relationships between TSPO, microglia, and astrocytes in the context of depression. In this study, C57BL/6J male mice were subjected to chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) for 5 weeks. Subsequently, sucrose preference and tail suspension tests (TSTs) were performed to assess anhedonia and despair in these mice. [
