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

This chapter reviews the enduring effects of prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) on neuroimmune function across the lifespan, including discussion of associated neurobehavioral alterations. Alcohol has potent teratogenic effects, with a large body of work linking PAE to perturbations in neuroimmune function. These PAE-related neuroimmune disturbances may have downstream effects on neurobehavioral function given the critical role of the neuroimmune system in central nervous system development. The neuroimmune system matures over time, playing distinct roles depending on the developmental processes occurring within that maturational stage. This chapter thus takes an ontogenetic approach to understanding how PAE induces unique neuroimmune changes across the lifespan, beginning with a review of changes in early life before moving into adolescence and ending in adulthood. The focus will be on work utilizing rodent models, which allow for more tightly controlled conditions than are possible in human research. The chapter concludes with a discussion of possible mechanisms underlying the developmental changes in neuroimmune function following PAE, with a specific focus on the role of the gut microbiota.
