Central amygdala single-nucleus atlas reveals chromatin and gene transcription dynamics in human alcohol use disorder.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. 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
Regulation of gene expression is a highly coordinated process in both the healthy and pathological brain with unique patterns across a multitude of cell types. Here we present a multi-omic single nucleus study of ~175,000 nuclei from 50 donors with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and control donors without AUD, profiling cell type specific gene expression and chromatin accessibility in the human central amygdala. We identify all major CNS cell types and neuronal subtypes and find inhibitory neurons are particularly affected by AUD. We find high numbers of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) including GABRA2, GRM8, and NCAM1 and show significant enrichment for AUD risk genes within these DEGs. We identified 51,431 cell type-specific, disease associated candidate cis-regulatory elements including an interneuron-associated set of chromatin loops at the AUD risk gene CALN1. Transcription factor footprinting identified Kruppel-like factors upstream of AUD GWAS genes and DEGs. Finally, we also perform cell type-specific fine mapping for AUD GWAS to prioritize variants within functional genomic elements.
