Schwann Cells in Neuromuscular Disorders: A Spotlight on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
Review in Cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a complex neurodegenerative disease primarily affecting motor neurons, leading to progressive muscle atrophy and paralysis. This review explores the role of Schwann cells in ALS pathogenesis, highlighting their influence on disease progression through mechanisms involving demyelination, neuroinflammation, and impaired synaptic function. While Schwann cells have been traditionally viewed as peripheral supportive cells, especially in motor neuron disease, recent evidence indicates that they play a significant role in ALS by impacting motor neuron survival and plasticity, influencing inflammatory responses, and altering myelination processes. Furthermore, advancements in understanding Schwann cell pathology in ALS combined with lessons learned from studying Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease Type 1 (CMT1) suggest potential therapeutic strategies targeting these cells may support nerve repair and slow disease progression. Overall, this review aims to provide comprehensive insights into Schwann cell classification, physiology, and function, underscoring the critical pathological contributions of Schwann cells in ALS and suggests new avenues for targeted therapeutic interventions aimed at modulating Schwann cell function in ALS.
