NMDA receptors coordinate brain vascular development via neuron-to-endothelial tip cell crosstalk in zebrafish.

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
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are a major class of glutamate receptors crucial for neural development and function. Here, we report that NMDARs expressed on neurons regulate brain vascular development via neurovascular communication. Dysfunction of neuronal NMDARs impairs the formation of the zebrafish brain vasculature and abrogates the neural activity-induced enhancement of the brain vascular development. These defects are attributed to the reduced growth of vascular endothelial tip cells (ETCs) situating at the leading edge of brain angiogenic sprouts. At the molecular level, NMDAR dysfunction down-regulates neuronal expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and subsequent global Ca
