Cuprizone feeding induces swollen astrocyte endfeet.
Article in Pflugers Archiv : European journal of physiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The cuprizone model is a widely used model to study the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Due to the selective loss of mature oligodendrocytes and myelin, it is mainly being used to study demyelination and the mechanisms of remyelination, as well as the efficiency of compounds or therapeutics aiming at remyelination. Although early investigations using high dosages of cuprizone reported the occurrence of hydrocephalus, it has long been assumed that cuprizone feeding at lower dosages does not induce changes at the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Here, by analyzing BBB ultrastructure with high-resolution electron microscopy, we report changes at astrocytic endfeet surrounding vessels in the brain parenchyma. Particularly, edema formation around blood vessels and swollen astrocytic endfeet already occurred after feeding low dosages of cuprizone. These findings indicate changes in BBB function that will have an impact on the milieu of the central nervous system (CNS) in the cuprizone model and need to be considered when studying the mechanisms of de- and remyelination.
