Regulating PPARG Reduces Lipid Accumulation in Microglia and Promotes Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury.
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 12 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
Spinal cord injury (SCI) substantially affects functional capacity and the immune system plays a crucial role in recovery. Examining alterations in microglia metabolism can lead to improved repair mechanisms; however, the molecular subtyping of microglia lacks consensus. In this study, the effects of SCI on macrophages and microglia in mice are investigated to identify tailored therapeutic targets and interventions for patients with SCI. Macrophages infiltrate the spinal cord shortly after injury; however, infiltration decreases over time. Microglial phagocytosis of myelin debris is associated with increased lipid accumulation. Macrophage deletion improves outcomes, whereas microglial deletion worsens them. The PLIN2+ microglia subtype in lipid droplet formation shows abnormal activation of the Pparg signaling pathway compared with that with other subtypes. PPARG promotes lipid metabolism and recovery, and atorvastatin (a PPARG agonist) reverses altered metabolic processes. Macrophages and microglia play complex roles in SCI. Targeting PPARG and its agonists is a promising therapeutic approach for SCI.
