The Neural Palette of Heme: Altered Heme Homeostasis Underlies Defective Neurotransmission, Increased Oxidative Stress, and Disease Pathogenesis.
Review in Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Heme, a complex iron-containing molecule, is traditionally recognized for its pivotal role in oxygen transport and cellular respiration. However, emerging research has illuminated its multifaceted functions in the nervous system, extending beyond its canonical roles. This review delves into the diverse roles of heme in the nervous system, highlighting its involvement in neural development, neurotransmission, and neuroprotection. We discuss the molecular mechanisms by which heme modulates neuronal activity and synaptic plasticity, emphasizing its influence on ion channels and neurotransmitter receptors. Additionally, the review explores the potential neuroprotective properties of heme, examining its role in mitigating oxidative stress, including mitochondrial oxidative stress, and its implications in neurodegenerative diseases. Furthermore, we address the pathological consequences of heme dysregulation, linking it to conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain injuries. By providing a comprehensive overview of heme's multifunctional roles in the nervous system, this review underscores its significance as a potential therapeutic target and diagnostic biomarker for various neurological disorders.
