Autism-associated CHD8 controls reactive gliosis and neuroinflammation via remodeling chromatin in astrocytes.
Article in Cell reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Reactive changes of glial cells during neuroinflammation impact brain disorders and disease progression. Elucidating the mechanisms that control reactive gliosis may help us to understand brain pathophysiology and improve outcomes. Here, we report that adult ablation of autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-associated CHD8 in astrocytes attenuates reactive gliosis via remodeling chromatin accessibility, changing gene expression. Conditional Chd8 deletion in astrocytes, but not microglia, suppresses reactive gliosis by impeding astrocyte proliferation and morphological elaboration. Astrocyte Chd8 ablation alleviates lipopolysaccharide-induced neuroinflammation and septic-associated hypothermia in mice. Astrocytic CHD8 plays an important role in neuroinflammation by altering the chromatin landscape, regulating metabolic and lipid-associated pathways, and astrocyte-microglia crosstalk. Moreover, we show that reactive gliosis can be directly mitigated in vivo using an adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated Chd8 gene editing strategy. These findings uncover a role of ASD-associated CHD8 in the adult brain, which may warrant future exploration of targeting chromatin remodelers in reactive gliosis and neuroinflammation in injury and neurological diseases.
