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

Astrocytes, once viewed as passive support cells in the central nervous system, are now recognized as active and dynamic regulators of neural function. Across multiple domains of central nervous system function, astrocytes interact closely with neurons to influence synaptic transmission, plasticity, and behavior. These include key brain and spinal cord functions related to information processing that impact cognition and animal behavior. This Special Issue features 12 comprehensive reviews and original data articles that highlight key advances and ongoing challenges in this field. These works collectively reflect a major shift from a neuron-centered perspective to an integrated neuron-glia framework, in which astrocytes sense neuronal and neuromodulator activity and actively shape neural circuit function in health and disease contexts.
