1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Astrocytes and oligodendrocytes in the ventrobasal thalamus are electrically coupled through gap junctions. We have previously shown that these cells form large panglial networks, which have a key role in the transfer of energy substrates to postsynapses for sustaining neuronal activity. Here, we show that the efficiency of these transfer networks is regulated by synaptic activity: preventing the generation and propagation of action potentials resulted in reduced glial coupling. Systematic analyses of mice deficient for individual connexin isoforms revealed that oligodendroglial Cx32 and Cx47 are the targets of this modulation. Importantly, we show that during a critical time window, sensory deprivation through whisker trimming reduces the efficiency of the glial transfer networks also
