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

Proper function of the central nervous system (CNS) requires adequate blood supply to both gray and white matter, yet the mechanisms governing the region-specific angiogenesis remain poorly understood. Through analyzing glial cell profiles combined with genetic ablation approaches, we uncover distinct pro-angiogenic programs in astrocytic and oligodendroglial lineages that differentially regulate gray and white matter vascularization. Astrocyte depletion selectively disrupted gray matter angiogenesis, whereas oligodendrocyte lineage loss caused white matter hypovascularization. Gray matter astrocytes are selectively enriched for the hypoxia-inducible factor HIF1α and promote vascular growth via VEGF-dependent signaling, while the oligodendrocyte-enriched chromatin-remodeler CHD8 directly activated pro-angiogenic genes, including
