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

The serotonergic system regulates diverse social and emotional processes, including formation of social networks that continue to mature throughout adolescence. In adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE)-exposed male and female rats and postmortem human dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) tissue from adolescent-onset alcohol use disorder (AUD) cases, we observed persistent reductions of serotonergic markers (TPH2+, 5HT+) within the DRN and its projections, accompanied by robust neuroimmune activation (HMGB1, TLR4, pNFκBp65). Reduced DRN prodynorphin and selective reductions of medial DRN serotonergic neurons (TPH2+, 5HT+) suggest that specific serotonergic subpopulations are suppressed by AIE. We further found increased repressive histone markers (H3K9me2) and decreased activating markers (H3K4me3Q5ser) at the
