Roles of TREM2 in the Pathological Mechanism and the Therapeutic Strategies of Alzheimer's Disease.
Review in The journal of prevention of Alzheimer's disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related degenerative disease, which is characteristic by the deposition of senile plaques (SP) outside the cells, the neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) inside the neurons, and the loss of synapse and neurons. Neuroinflammation may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AD. Microglia are the immune cells in the central nervous system. However, microglia might become disease-related microglia (DAMs) when stimulated by the external environment. DAMs have been shown to be involved in a series of events of AD development including Aβ accumulation and tau phosphorylation. The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is a transmembrane receptor that is mainly expressed by microglia in the central nervous system (CNS). TREM2 plays an important role in the physiological function of microglia, and the dyshomeostasis of TREM2 is related to the development of late-onset AD. This article summarized the latest advances in TREM2 biology and its impact on the roles of microglia in AD development, with a particular emphasis on the structure, ligands, signal transduction, and the agonistic antibodies of TREM2 for AD treatment. We further discussed the survival, migration, phagocytosis, inflammation, and cellular metabolism of microglia, as well as the role of sTREM2 in neuroprotection and as a biomarker for AD. It provides a reference for further research on the molecular mechanism of microglial TREM2 in the occurrence and development of AD and on the therapeutic strategies targeted on the microglial TREM2.
