Molecular Mechanism of the Protective Effects of M2 Microglia on Neurons: A Review Focused on Exosomes and Secretory Proteins.
Review in Neurochemical research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
Microglia, as innate immune cells in the brain, closely monitor changes in the internal environment and participate in the maintenance of homeostasis in the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia can be polarized to the M1 or M2 phenotype in response to various stimuli in vivo or in vitro, affecting the functions of peripheral neurons. M2 microglia have attracted increasing attention in recent years owing to their beneficial effects on various diseases and injuries of the CNS, such as traumatic brain injury, stroke, Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. They exert neuroprotective effects by various mechanisms, e.g., suppressing inflammation, promoting the degradation of misfolded and aggregated proteins, promoting neurite growth, enhancing neurogenesis, inhibiting autophagy and apoptosis, promoting myelination, maintaining blood-brain barrier integrity, and enhancing phagocytic activity.This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms by which M2 microglia exert protective effects on neurons and provides a reference for the selection of therapeutic targets for CNS diseases.
