Immunity in Rodent Models of Stress.
Review in Biological psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 stress is a major risk factor for several psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder. This review synthesizes rodent-based findings showing that stress modifies immune function in the central nervous system (e.g., microglia), the neurovascular unit, and the peripheral circulation. Stress paradigms such as chronic social defeat stress or chronic variable stress induce morphological and transcriptomic changes in microglia, disrupt blood-brain barrier integrity, and mobilize immune cells (e.g., monocytes, neutrophils). These cells, in turn, secrete proinflammatory mediators, including interleukin 6 and matrix metalloproteinase 8, which can penetrate limbic brain regions and contribute to behavioral changes. Integrating next-generation molecular insights with refined behavioral models, particularly those that capture sex-related differences, holds promise for advancing personalized strategies to prevent and treat stress-related disorders.
