Hippocampal Satb2 regulates the cognitive function of adult mice through pleiotrophin.
Article in Cell death & disease, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (SATB2) is associated with human cognitive ability. Mutations in the SATB2 gene lead to SATB2-associated syndrome (SAS), characterized by severe intellectual disability. SATB2 is mainly expressed in pyramidal neurons in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, playing a crucial role in cognitive processes. However, the function of SATB2 in the adult hippocampus remains unclear. In this study, we deleted Satb2 in the CA1 region of the adult mouse hippocampus and observed cognitive impairments along with significant changes in soma and dendrite morphology. Additionally, we identified the growth factor pleiotrophin (PTN) as a downstream target of Satb2, essential for mediating its impact on cognitive functions. Importantly, increasing PTN expression mitigated the morphological and behavioral deficits resulting from Satb2 deletion in CA1. Our findings highlight the importance of hippocampal Satb2 in regulating cognitive function in adult mice through PTN modulation.
