Fatty acid metabolism changes in association with neurobehavioral deficits in animal models of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.
Article in Communications biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) show behavioral problems due to prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). A previous study reports changes in gene expressions linked to fatty acid (FA) metabolism in the cerebral cortex of the PAE mouse model. We find an increase of palmitic acid and arachidonic acid in phospholipid in the cerebral cortex of PAE at postnatal day 30. The increase of palmitic acid is consistent with increase of the producing enzyme, Fasn (fatty acid synthase). Decrease of 26:6 FA is also consistent with the increase of the enzyme which uses 26:6 as a substrate for making very long chain FAs, Elovl4 (elongation of very long chain fatty acids protein 4). However, there is no increase in the elongated products. Rather, lipid droplets (LDs) accumulated in the brain. Although FA-associated metabolic measurements are not affected by PAE, the abundance of FA-related gut microbiota is altered. This suggests that the gut microbiome could serve as a tool to facilitate uncovering the brain pathophysiology of FASD and a potential target to mitigate neurobehavioral problems.
