TRPM7 kinase: a target for multimodal drug development in neurological disorders.
Review in Acta pharmacologica Sinica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Neurological disorders impose a rising global burden and often remain challenging to treat with conventional interventions, as their pathologies arise from interconnected cascades involving ionic imbalance, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) is a bifunctional "chanzyme" combining a divalent-permeable cation channel with a C-terminal α-kinase domain. This review synthesizes current knowledge of TRPM7 kinase, including its structural organization and regulation, and surveys its physiological roles in the nervous system. Converging genetic and pharmacological evidence links TRPM7 kinase activity to diverse brain pathologies, including ischemic and hypoxic-ischemic injury, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and glioblastoma. Notably, TRPM7 kinase inactivation or inhibition exerts multimodal neuroprotection by attenuating apoptosis, oxidative stress, inflammation, and cytoskeletal remodeling. We also summarize emerging small-molecule modulators that probe kinase function, while acknowledging key limitations in selectivity, potential off-target effects, and uncertain brain penetration. Beyond these pharmacological challenges, critical gaps remain in defining kinase-channel coupling, cell type-specific substrate networks, and therapeutic windows in translational models. Overall, by integrating oxidative, inflammatory, and metabolic signaling with cytoskeletal control, TRPM7 kinase represents an underexplored but promising therapeutic node for modulating the complex injury pathways that underlie many neurological disorders. TRPM7 structure and its kinase-regulated signaling pathways in neurological disease. Schematic overview of TRPM7 structure and its involvement in cytoskeletal remodeling and glioblastoma progression, glial stem cells maintenance, nuclear translocation under OGD/R, Aβ degradation in Alzheimer's disease, seizure susceptibility and ischemic-related apoptosis and neuroinflammation.
