Neurotoxicity of Chronic Alcohol Exposure: Mechanistic Insights, Cellular Disruption, and Emerging Therapeutic Strategies.
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 3 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
Chronic alcohol exposure induces complex pathophysiological changes in the central nervous system (CNS), contributing to the onset and progression of neurodegenerative disorders. This review integrates recent findings on ethanol-induced neurotoxicity, focusing on key mechanisms including oxidative stress, protein misfolding, mitochondrial dysfunction, calcium dysregulation, neuroinflammation, and epigenetic alterations. We further discuss the detrimental impact of ethanol metabolism particularly its neurotoxic intermediates such as acetaldehyde and salsolinol on neuronal integrity. Special emphasis is placed on glial cell activation, blood-brain barrier disruption, and dysregulation of survival pathways such as PI3K/Akt/mTOR. Finally, we highlight promising therapeutic strategies targeting these molecular and cellular disruptions. A comprehensive understanding of these processes is critical for the development of neuroprotective interventions aimed at mitigating alcohol-related cognitive and functional decline.
