Recent Insights on Supraspinal Astrocytes in Chronic Pain.
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 2 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
Chronic pain is a debilitating, life-altering condition that affects a significant portion of the global population, impacting approximately one fifth of people in Europe and one third of people worldwide. Clinical and experimental efforts are increasingly converging to deepen our comprehension of the molecular, cellular and circuit-level mechanisms underlying persistent pain. While most studies have traditionally focused on alterations of nociceptive pathways in neurons, growing evidence highlights the critical role of astrocytes in modulating these pathways and contributing to the development of the central sensitization that characterizes chronic pain. Moreover, astrocytes are also implicated in pain-associated maladaptive behaviours and cognitive impairments. In this context, we review the latest findings on astrocyte involvement in chronic pain and its related mood and cognitive comorbidities.
