Defining the electrical synapse.
Review in Nature reviews. 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
Electrical and chemical synapses together shape neural circuits critically required for the processing of information by the nervous system. Owing to the relative simplicity of the mechanism of action mediating electrical coupling between neurons, electrical transmission is generally perceived as static and results solely from the function of intercellular channels at structures known as 'gap junctions'. However, electrical synapses are dynamic structures that exhibit changes in their synaptic strength, indicating a need for a deeper understanding of the determinants regulating their structure and plasticity. Mounting evidence indicates that, beyond the intercellular channels, electrical transmission is supported by sophisticated synaptic structures with an unanticipated complexity in their molecular organization, requiring a new, broader definition of electrical synapses.
