Recent optical approaches for anatomical and functional dissection of neuron-astrocyte circuitry.
Review in The Journal of physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 abundant glial cells in the brain, are wired into neural circuits through close contact with neuronal pre- and post-synapses, called tripartite synapses. The mutual communication between neurons and astrocytes is crucial for neural circuit dynamics and animal behaviour. Recent advancements in imaging, manipulation and transcriptomics in astrocytes have revealed that astrocytes exhibit spatiotemporally complex computations and represent circuit-specialised functions and molecular makeups. However, understanding the neuron-astrocyte circuitry by means of conventional anatomical methods is hindered due to technical limitations. In this review, we highlight recently developed optical, genetic and viral techniques that enable high-throughput identification of connected neuron-astrocyte pairs with circuit and genetic specificity. These approaches will accelerate anatomical and functional dissections of the neuron-astrocyte circuits in health and disease in future studies.
