Nucleus accumbens changes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Review in American journal of neurodegenerative disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a representative example of motor neuron disease, is a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder. The nucleus accumbens (NA) is the ventral striatum's main part and is considered as a modulator of the human brain's reward network. The purpose of this article is to review the current knowledge regarding NA changes in ALS patients. The NA involvement in ALS includes volumetric, cellular and molecular changes. There are recent imaging and pathological studies revealing NA atrophy in ALS, a finding which seems to be related to neuronal loss and protein deposition in this area. The clinical significance of NA atrophy in these patients is not currently fully understood. Perhaps it could be correlated with apathy, behavioral disturbances and cognitive impairment that ALS patients sometimes manifest.
