TREM2 deficiency inhibits microglial activation and aggravates demyelinating injury in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.
Article in Journal of neuroinflammation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) triggered by autoimmune mechanisms. Microglia are activated and play a pivotal role in response to tissue injury. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is expressed by microglia and promotes microglial activation, survival and phagocytosis. Here, we identify a critical role for TREM2 in microglial activation and function during AQP4-IgG and complement-induced demyelination. TREM2-deficient mice had more severe tissue damage and neurological impairment, as well as fewer oligodendrocytes with suppressed proliferation and maturation. The number of microglia clustering in NMOSD lesions and their proliferation were reduced in TREM2-deficient mice. Moreover, morphology analysis and expression of classic markers showed compromised activation of microglia in TREM2-deficient mice, which was accompanied by suppressed phagocytosis and degradation of myelin debris by microglia. These results overall indicate that TREM2 is a key regulator of microglial activation and exert neuroprotective effects in NMOSD demyelination.
