Sigma 1 Receptor and Its Pivotal Role in Neurological Disorders.
Review in ACS pharmacology & translational science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Sigma 1 receptor (S1R) is a multifunctional, ligand-activated protein located in the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It mediates a variety of neurological disorders, including epilepsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease. The wide neuroprotective effects of S1R agonists are achieved by a variety of pro-survival and antiapoptotic S1R-mediated signaling functions. Nonetheless, relatively little is known about the specific molecular mechanisms underlying S1R activity. Many studies on S1R protein have highlighted the importance of maintaining normal cellular homeostasis through its control of calcium and lipid exchange between the ER and mitochondria, ER-stress response, and many other mechanisms. In this review, we will discuss S1R different cellular localization and explain S1R-associated biological activity, such as its localization in the ER-plasma membrane and Mitochondrion-Associated ER Membrane interfaces. While outlining the cellular mechanisms and important binding partners involved in these processes, we also explained how the dysregulation of these pathways contributes to neurodegenerative disorders.
