M2-associated microglial states in oligodendrocyte regulation and white matter repair in vascular dementia.
Review in Journal of translational medicine, 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
Vascular dementia (VaD), the second most common form of dementia, lacks approved disease-modifying therapies. White matter injury and demyelination are major pathological features, and oligodendrocyte-lineage damage directly limits myelin repair. M2-associated microglial responses regulate inflammation, clear cellular and myelin debris, and support oligodendrocyte differentiation and maturation. Single-cell studies, however, have exposed the limitations of the classical M1/M2 dichotomy in brain disease. In this review, M2a-, M2b-, and M2c-like states are interpreted based on experimentally specified inducing conditions and concordant molecular or functional evidence. We examine how these programs relate to oligodendrocyte injury, myelin loss, and white matter repair in VaD. with particular attention to their potentially stage-dependent contributions. Integrating these findings may inform the timing and functional focus of future interventions aimed at preserving oligodendrocyte function and promoting white matter repair in VaD.
