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

Despite decades of research in brain energy metabolism and to what extent different cell types utilize distinct substrates for their energy metabolism, this topic remains a vibrant area of neuroscience research. In this review, we focus on the substrates utilized by the inhibitory GABAergic neurons, which has been less explored than glutamatergic neurons. First, we discuss how GABAergic neurons may utilize both glucose, lactate, or ketone bodies under different functional conditions, and provide some preliminary data suggesting that unlike glutamatergic neurons, GABAergic neurons work well when substrate supply is restricted to lactate. We end by discussing the role of GABAergic neuron energy metabolism in pathologies where failure of inhibitory function play a central role, namely epilepsy, hepatic encephalopathy, and Alzheimer's disease.
