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

Satellite glial cells (SGCs) are peripheral nervous system glial cells enveloping sensory and sympathetic ganglion neuronal soma. Traditionally viewed as mere supportive cells, recent studies reveal SGCs' dynamic role in regulating sensory and autonomic processing, positioning them to shape peripheral neural signaling. This role has the potential to impact the healthy function of numerous biological processes and contribute to disease progression. Studies now implicate peripheral sensory and autonomic deficits in the etiology of many disorders, including cognitive decline in aging, neurodevelopmental disorders, or congestive heart failure. These insights highlight SGCs' potential to influence disease processes by modulating peripheral input to the brain. This review synthesizes recent findings on SGCs, emphasizing their functions beyond metabolic support. We discuss the molecular mechanisms underlying SGCs' modulation of neuronal functions, their molecular profiles, and how these change with injury and disease. We propose that SGCs contribute to shaping peripheral input in the brain-body axis.
