The Compelling Role of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Signaling in Multiple Sclerosis: Role of BDNF Activators.
Review in CNS neuroscience & therapeutics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin, acting as a neurotrophic signal and neuromodulator in the central nervous system (CNS). BDNF is synthesized from its precursor proBDNF within the CNS and peripheral tissues. Through activation of NTRK2/TRKB (neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 2), BDNF promotes neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal growth, whereas it inhibits microglial activation and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. BDNF is dysregulated in different neurodegenerative diseases and depressions. However, there is a major controversy concerning BDNF levels in the different stages of multiple sclerosis (MS). Therefore, this review discusses the potential role of BDNF signaling in stages of MS, and how BDNF modulators affect the pathogenesis and outcomes of this disease.
