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

Emerging evidence increasingly indicates that astrocytes are involved in neuropsychiatric disorders, including addiction, but the cocaine-induced astrocyte transcriptome has yet to be investigated. We performed RNA sequencing on whole-cell sorted astrocytes from the nucleus accumbens and bioinformatically characterized the astrocyte transcriptome following cocaine self-administration in male mice. We found that astrocytes exhibit robust and contextually specific transcriptional signatures that implicate adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate response element-binding protein (CREB) as a cocaine-induced transcriptional regulator in astrocytes. Cleavage under targets and release using nuclease sequencing (CUT&RUN) revealed increased astrocytic CREB DNA binding in response to cocaine. Viral-mediated manipulation of nucleus accumbens astrocytic CREB activity in combination with addiction-related behaviors revealed that astrocytic CREB increases the rewarding and reinforcing properties of cocaine. Furthermore, we identified potential molecular mechanisms of astrocytic CREB's influence through modulating astrocytic calcium dynamics and selectively increasing D1-type medium spiny neuronal activity.
