Critical Periods and Beyond: Dynamic Functions of Perineuronal Nets in Cognition, Development, and Disease.
Review in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
First discovered by Golgi, perineuronal nets (PNNs) are extracellular matrices that surround various neuron types in the nervous system. They have been found to emerge at the end of developmental critical periods and serve as "molecular brakes" on plasticity. Perineuronal nets have traditionally been studied in the context of sensory and cognitive plasticity, but recent studies extend their contributions to brain plasticity involved in substance use disorders, metabolism, neurodegeneration, and more. This review will summarize recent discoveries about the functions of PNNs across diverse circuits, contexts, and species, across different stages of life, and between disease and nondisease states and will integrate fundamental and clinical studies to identify conserved and novel functions of PNNs. Given the recent map of extensive PNN expression, we hope to encourage investigators researching diverse neural systems to examine PNN contributions to circuit function and behavior.
