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

JOURNAL/nrgr/04.03/01300535-202606000-00058/figure1/v/2026-02-11T151048Z/r/image-tiff Adult-born oligodendrocytes are continuously produced in the brains of rodents. The functional role of these cells has been linked to the motor-related activities of healthy animals and is vital for acquiring new motor skills. However, the relationship between these cells and the control of motor-related activities has not been investigated in pathological conditions. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the role of oligodendrocytes in depression-related motor deficits and the effects of training. Psychomotor retardation is a key symptom of depression. Consistent with the impairments observed in rodent motor performance, the proliferation and activation of adult-born oligodendrocytes are altered in a corticosterone-induced stress paradigm. Therapeutic rotarod training can alleviate these symptoms by reversing the aforementioned changes. Notably, these alterations are particularly pronounced in layer I of the motor cortex. Thus, this study provides evidence of the potential functional involvement of adult-born oligodendrocytes in the motor impairments observed in the depressed animals. Additionally, it offers preliminary results for further investigation into layer I of the motor cortex in relation to these pathological conditions.
