Transcriptomic Regulation by Astrocytic m6A Methylation in the mPFC.
Article in Genes to cells : devoted to molecular & cellular mechanisms, 2025. 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
Astrocytes, the most prevalent type of glial cells, have been found to play a crucial part in numerous physiological functions. By offering metabolic and structural support, astrocytes are vital for the proper functioning of the brain and regulating information processing and synaptic transmission. Astrocytes located in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) are highly responsive to environmental changes and have been associated with the development of brain disorders. One of the primary mechanisms through which the brain responds to environmental factors is epitranscriptome modification. M6-methyladenosine methylation is the most prevalent internal modification of eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA), and it significantly impacts transcript processing and protein synthesis. However, the effects of m6A on astrocyte transcription and function are still not well understood. Our research demonstrates that ALKBH5, an RNA demethylase of m6A found in astrocytes, affects gene expression in the mPFC. These findings suggest that further investigation into the potential role of astrocyte-mediated m6A methylation in the mPFC is warranted.
