1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The vital role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in neuronal development, synaptic plasticity, and neuroprotection has been explored for decades. Therefore, the expression, processing, and signalling activities of this neurotrophin, which is reliant upon TrkB and p75NTR receptors, have been well characterised in both health and disease. This review summarises the latest findings on BDNF dysregulation in neuropathologies. Indeed, across diseases of both the central and peripheral nervous systems, BDNF signalling is frequently disrupted, contributing to neuronal dysfunction and degeneration. Consequently, through direct or indirect enhancement of its expression and/or function, BDNF has proved to be a promising therapeutic target across many neurological conditions. However, the complexity of its regulation and interaction with several different receptors underpins the need for further research to deepen our understanding of BDNF disruption in neuropathologies and to achieve its therapeutic potential.
