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

Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are a special form of central nervous system extracellular matrix enriched in hyaluronan, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, tenascins, and link proteins that regulate synaptic plasticity. Most PNNs in the brain surround parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory interneurons, which tightly regulate excitatory/inhibitory balance and brain activity associated with optimal cognitive functioning. Alterations in PNNs have been observed in neurological diseases and psychiatric disorders, suggesting that they may be key contributors to the neuropathological progression and behavioral changes in these diseases. Alcohol use disorder (AUD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and chronic pain are highly comorbid conditions, and changes in PNNs have been observed in animal models of these disorders, as well as postmortem tissue from individuals diagnosed with AUD and MDD. This review focuses on the literature describing stress-, alcohol-, and pain-induced adaptations in PNNs, potential cellular contributors to altered PNNs, and the role of PNNs in behaviors related to these disorders. Medicines that can restore PNNs to a non-pathological state may be a novel therapeutic approach to treating chronic pain, AUD, and MDD.
