Alleviation of Autophagic Deficits and Neuroinflammation by Histamine H3 Receptor Antagonist E159 Ameliorates Autism-Related Behaviors in
Article in Pharmaceuticals (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by social interaction difficulties, repetitive behaviors, and immune dysregulation with elevated pro-inflammatory markers. Autophagic deficiency also contributes to social behavior deficits in ASD. Histamine H3 receptor (H3R) antagonism is a potential treatment strategy for brain disorders with features overlapping ASD, such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease.
methodsThis study investigated the effects of sub-chronic systemic treatment with the H3R antagonist E159 on social deficits, repetitive behaviors, neuroinflammation, and autophagic disruption in male
resultsE159 (2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg, i.p.) improved stereotypic repetitive behavior by reducing self-grooming time and enhancing spontaneous alternation in addition to attenuating social deficits. It also decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines in the cerebellum and hippocampus of treated
conclusionsThese preliminary findings suggest the therapeutic potential of H3R antagonists in targeting neuroinflammation and autophagic disruption to improve ASD-like behaviors.
