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

Microglia are a unique cell population in the central nervous system (CNS) and serve as its resident immune cells. They have long been recognized for their critical contributions to CNS development and the maintenance of neuronal network health, particularly in the context of neuroprotection against neurodegenerative diseases. However, the mechanisms by which microglia interact with and influence neurons have remained largely unclear. Recent advances in genetics, pharmacology, and imaging technologies have begun to unveil the mechanisms underlying microglia-neuron communication. Here, from the perspective of microglia, we review the diverse direct and indirect pathways and key molecules through which microglia interact with neurons under both physiological and pathological conditions. This rapidly expanding knowledge is reshaping our understanding of neuron-glia physiology and pathology in neurodegenerative diseases.
