Impaired task-dependent cerebral cortex oxygenation in Glut1 deficiency.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 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
Introduction: Neuronal activation increases regional glucose utilization and requires coordinated increases in tissue oxygenation. While glucose uptake is regulated by cell type-specific transporter expression, oxygen diffuses more broadly across brain tissue, linking cerebral blood flow to measurable changes in oxygenation using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). In glucose transporter type 1 deficiency (G1D), reduced brain glucose and glycogen levels suggest limited substrate availability to support neural activity. Methods: Individuals with G1D and age-matched controls underwent fNIRS while performing standardized cognitive tasks. Task-evoked changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin were recorded to quantify cortical activation and regional oxygenation responses. Results: We hypothesized that task-dependent metabolic responses are constrained in G1D. Consistent with this hypothesis, fNIRS measurements demonstrated reduced cortical oxygenation responses in individuals with G1D compared with controls. Discussion: These findings support an altered neuroenergetic response to neural activation in G1D, in which cognitive performance is preserved despite limited substrate availability and attenuated oxygenation responses, consistent with adaptive or compensatory mechanisms.
