Perineuronal Net and Inhibitory Synapse Remodeling on Striatal Fast-spiking Interneurons by Chronic Alcohol Exposure.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. 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
Alcohol use disorder is characterized by persistent drinking in the face of negative consequences. Such inflexible drinking requires dorsolateral striatum fast-spiking interneurons, which comprise roughly 1% of all striatal neurons. How chronic ethanol exposure affects fast-spiking interneuron physiology is poorly understood. We discover in mice that chronic ethanol exposure induced a dramatic loss of GABAergic, but not glutamatergic, synapses onto dorsolateral striatum fast-spiking interneuron somata and proximal dendrites where perineuronal nets, a subdivision of the extracellular matrix, are enriched. We found that chronic ethanol exposure degraded these perineuronal nets and that enzymatically degrading perineuronal nets similarly reduced GABAergic transmission onto dorsolateral striatum fast-spiking interneurons. Modeling the effect of alcohol, we find that silencing extrinsic GABAergic projections to the dorsolateral striatum increased voluntary ethanol consumption. Taken together, these data suggest chronic alcohol exposure remodels perineuronal nets and inhibitory synapses on fast-spiking interneurons to facilitate alcohol drinking.
