Involvement of Complement in Alzheimer's Disease: From Genetics Through Pathology to Therapeutic Strategies.
Review in Current topics in behavioral neurosciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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
Complement is a critical component of innate immunity, evolved to defend against pathogens and clear toxic debris ranging from dead and dying cells to immune complexes. These roles make complement a key player in homeostasis; however, complement has a dark side. When the rigid control mechanisms fail, complement becomes dysregulated, acting as a driver of inflammation and resultant pathology in numerous diseases. Roles of complement in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias have emerged in recent years, supported by genetic, biomarker and pathological evidence and animal model studies. Numerous questions remain regarding the precise roles of complement in the brain in health and disease, including where and when complement is expressed, how it contributes to immune defence and garbage disposal in the healthy brain, and exactly how complement contributes to pathology in dementias. In this brief review, we will summarise current knowledge on complement roles in brain, present the evidence implicating complement in AD and explore whether complement represents an attractive therapeutic target for AD.
