Glutamate, a Key for Astrocytes to Participate in Brain Function and Diseases.
Review in Neurochemical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 support neurons by maintaining health, regulating the environment, and aiding synaptic transmission, while glutamate is vital for excitatory signaling in learning and memory. The "glutamate-glutamine cycle," verified by Hertz and Schousboe, illustrates the interaction between neurons and astrocytes in glutamate regulation. Recent studies show astrocytes not only manage glutamate levels but also influence synaptic activity through gliotransmission and contribute to brain energy via glutamate metabolism. Dysregulation of this signaling is linked to neurological disorders like epilepsy and Alzheimer's. This mini-review will explore research progress on astrocytes and glutamate, highlighting glutamate's role in brain function and disease.
