Diverse roles of connexins in the neuro-vasculature in homeostasis and disease.
Review in Translational neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Significant progress has advanced our understanding of brain physiology. The brain is now recognized as an integrated network rather than a compartmentalized organ, composed of diverse cell types including neurons, glial cells, and vascular components. Communication within this neurovascular unit relies on multiple receptors, transporters, and channels. Among these, gap junction channels formed by connexin proteins play a central role by enabling direct intercellular exchange of ions, metabolites, and signaling molecules. In the healthy brain, connexins contribute to homeostatic balance and neuronal activity, whereas their dysregulation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple neurological disorders. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the physiological roles of connexins in the brain, analyze evidence from preclinical and clinical studies linking connexin dysfunction to disease, and discuss emerging therapeutic strategies targeting connexin-mediated signaling for the treatment of brain disorders.
