Special characteristics of human astrocytes and their roles in brain homeostasis.
Review in Neuroscience applied, 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
Human astrocytes differ morphologically, functionally, and in their gene expression patterns from murine astrocytes. The astrocytic heterogeneity and complexity observed in the mouse brain are multiplied in humans, evident in primate-specific astrocyte populations and region-specific subtypes reflecting diverse molecular programs and environmental factors in the human brain. Astrocytes also contribute to the evolutionary processes associated with an increase in brain size and enhancing cognitive function. In this review, astrocyte differentiation and function are described to frame the processes that make human astrocytes specific, and whose disturbances can lead to brain pathology, as revealed by rapidly-evolving stem cell-based technology employed in human astrocyte studies.
