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

A long-standing question in biology and medicine concerns how astrocytes influence neurons. Here, progress concerning how astrocytes affect neurons and neural circuits is summarized by focusing on data and concepts from studies of the striatum, which has emerged as a model nucleus. Mechanisms broadly applicable across brain regions and disorders are emphasized, and knowledge gaps are described. Experiments spanning multiple scales of biology show that astrocytes regulate neural circuits by virtue of homeostatic signaling and through astrocyte-neuron interactions. During disease, astrocytes contribute to nervous system malfunction in context-specific ways through failures of normal functions and the development of maladaptive responses. As ideally positioned endogenous cellular neuromodulators, astrocytes can be targeted for strategies to regulate neural circuits in brain disorders. After a historically slow start for the field, astrocyte-neuron interactions are now recognized as consequential for physiology and behavior, critically involved in pathophysiology, and exploitable in disease.
