Anorexia Nervosa, Schizophrenia, and Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Review of the Role of Tanycytes in Individual and Social Behavior.
Review in Cureus, 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
Located along the third ventricle of the hypothalamus, tanycytes are a type of glial cell that are prominent components of metabolic, homeostatic, and immunological signaling and transport. Behavioral deficits observed in disorders such as anorexia nervosa (AN), schizophrenia (SCZ), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been observed and can be linked to the various functions of tanycytes. This review investigates the association between tanycytes and AN, SCZ, and ASD, potentially giving insight into the pathogenesis of these disorders. Specifically, attention is paid to the role of tanycytes in immunological and metabolic pathways, as well as their involvement in the hypothalamic parenchyma via extended processes. Knowledge about the basic molecular and behavioral pathology of AN, SCZ, and ASD may help establish the link between tanycytes and behavior, both on the individual and social level. More mechanistic studies are required, as currently available data are just hypothesis-generating and not mechanistically established.
