In one paragraph

Review in Frontiers in cellular neuroscience, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Acidic pH shift occurs in many physiological neuronal activities such as synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity but also represents a characteristic feature of many pathological conditions including inflammation and ischemia. Neuroinflammation is a complex process that occurs in various neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and Huntington's disease. Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) represent a widely expressed pH sensor in the brain that play a key role in neuroinflammation. On this basis, acid-sensing ion channel blockers are able to exert neuroprotective effects in different neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we discuss the multifaceted roles of ASICs in brain physiology and pathology and highlight ASIC1a as a potential pharmacological target in neurodegenerative diseases.
