Influence of antipsychotic drugs on microglia-mediated neuroinflammation in schizophrenia: perspectives in an astrocyte-microglia co-culture model.
Review in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder with a strong lifetime impact on patients' health and wellbeing. Usually, symptomatic treatment includes typical or atypical antipsychotics. Study findings show an involvement of low-grade inflammation (blood, brain parenchyma, and cerebrospinal fluid) in schizophrenia. Moreover, experimental and neuropathological evidence suggests that reactive microglia, which are the main resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), have a negative impact on the differentiation and function of oligodendrocytes, glial progenitor cells, and astrocytes, which results in the disruption of neuronal networks and dysregulated synaptic transmission, contributing to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Here, the role of microglial cells related to neuroinflammation in schizophrenia was discussed to be essential. This review aims to summarize the evidence for the influence of antipsychotics on microglial inflammatory mechanisms in schizophrenia. Furthermore, we propose an established astrocyte-microglia co-culture model for testing regulatory mechanisms and examining the effects of antipsychotics on glia-mediated neuroinflammation. This could lead to a better understanding of how typical and atypical antipsychotics can be used to address positive and negative symptoms in schizophrenia and comorbidities like inflammatory diseases or the status of low-grade inflammation.
