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

The neurobiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is unclear due to its multifactorial nature. Although a wide range of studies revealed several pathomechanisms of AD, dementia is yet unmanageable with current pharmacotherapies. The recent growing literature illustrates the role of microglia-mediated neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of AD. Indeed, microglia serve as predominant sentinels of the brain, which diligently monitor the neuroimmune axis by phagocytosis and releasing soluble factors. In the case of AD, microglial cells are involved in synaptic pruning and remodeling by producing inflammatory mediators. The conditional inter-transformation of classical activation (proinflammatory) or alternative activation (anti-inflammatory) microglia is responsible for most brain disorders. In this review, we discussed the role of microglia in neuroinflammatory processes in AD following the accumulation of amyloid-β and tau proteins. We also described the prominent phenotypes of microglia, such as disease-associated microglia (DAM), dark microglia, interferon-responsive microglia (IRMs), human AD microglia (HAMs), and microglial neurodegenerative phenotype (MGnD), which are closely associated with AD incidence. Considering the key role of microglia in AD progression, microglial-based therapeutics may hold promise in mitigating cognitive deficits by addressing the neuroinflammatory responses.
