The GLP1R Agonist Semaglutide Inhibits Reactive Astrocytes and Enhances the Efficacy of Neural Stem Cell Transplantation Therapy in Parkinson's Disease Mice.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Cell transplantation offers a promising approach for treating Parkinson's disease (PD), but the limited survival of transplanted cells remains a major challenge. Reactive astrocytes, abundant in PD brains, may exacerbate this issue. GLP1R agonists, like semaglutide, are shown to inhibit reactive astrocytes in PD models. This study explores whether semaglutide could enhance the survival of transplanted neural stem cells (NSCs) in PD treatment. Six-hydroxydopamine-induced PD mouse models are used, with midbrain-derived NSCs transplanted into the lesioned striatum. Semaglutide is administered every other day for four weeks. In vivo imaging tracks the survival and distribution of DiD-labeled NSCs, while differentiation and astrocyte phenotypic changes are examined. Results show that semaglutide combined with NSC transplantation improves motor function. The mean fluorescence photon flux of mice transplanted with DiD-labeled NSCs alone is 0.8192 × 10
