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

Astrocytes participate in synaptic transmission and plasticity through tightly regulated, bidirectional communication with pre- and post-synaptic neurons, as well as microglia and oligodendrocytes. A key component of astrocyte-mediated synaptic regulation is the cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF). TNF signals via two cognate receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2, both expressed in astrocytes. While TNFR1 signaling in astrocytes has long been shown as necessary for physiological synaptic function, the role of astroglial TNFR2 was never explored. Here, we show that astroglial TNFR2 is essential for maintaining hippocampal synaptic function and plasticity in physiological conditions. Indeed, Gfap
