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

Central nervous system (CNS) disorders-including ischemic stroke, traumatic brain/spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease-have long faced limitations in achieving functional recovery and disease-modifying therapies because of their complex pathophysiological mechanisms. Traditional therapies are often constrained by poor penetration across CNS barriers, limited participation in multiple pathological cascades, and insufficient persistence of therapeutic effects. Nanozymes are a class of nanomaterials with enzyme-like catalytic activity and tunable physicochemical properties. Not only do these nanozymes continuously scavenge reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in pathological environments through stable multi-enzyme synergistic effects by leveraging their abundant active sites, but also serve as multimodal therapeutic delivery platforms to achieve efficient drug delivery, opening up new avenues for neuroprotection and regenerative medicine. This review systematically examines the fundamental characteristics, classification systems, and functional design approaches of nanozymes, along with their potential for combined therapeutic strategies, including synergistic applications with drugs, hydrogels, genes, or cells. Additionally, it summarizes the latest advancements in neuroprotection and repair associated with CNS disorders. The review further analyzes current limitations and challenges related to clinical translation and offers insights into future research directions to enhance scientific knowledge and clinical applications in this significant field.
