Pathological Calcium Signaling in Traumatic Brain Injury and Alzheimer's Disease: From Acute Neuronal Injury to Chronic Neurodegeneration.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Loss of calcium homeostasis, a shared feature of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), activates enzyme-dependent cascades that promote protein misfolding, degrade synaptic architecture, impair axonal transport, and lead to neuronal death. Epidemiological studies identify TBI as a major risk factor for AD, yet the mechanistic basis for this association remains incompletely understood. Evidence from human and experimental studies implicate calcium dysregulation as a central link, triggering interconnected kinase, phosphatase, and protease networks that drive AD hallmark pathology, including amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation and tau hyperphosphorylation. The calcium-dependent protease calpain is a key node in this network, regulating downstream enzyme activity, and cleaving essential scaffolding and signaling proteins. Selective vulnerability of the hippocampus and white matter to calcium-mediated damage may underlie cognitive deficits common to both conditions. In preclinical TBI and AD models, pharmacological inhibition of calcium-dependent enzymes confers neuroprotection. Recognizing disrupted calcium signaling as an upstream driver of post-traumatic neurodegeneration may enable early interventions to reduce AD risk among TBI survivors.
