1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Neuroinflammation is a key pathological mechanism underlying neurodegenerative diseases, and intricately interacts with protein glycosylation. Emerging evidence suggests that aberrant glycosylation disrupts immune homeostasis, activates microglia, and promotes the release of inflammatory mediators, thereby exacerbating neuroinflammatory responses. In addition, the inflammatory microenvironment can further dysregulate glycosylation patterns, creating a vicious cycle that amplifies disease pathology. Although the regulatory role of glycosylation in neuroinflammation associated with neurodegenerative diseases has been recognized, the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This review systematically examines the complex crosstalk between glycosylation and neuroinflammation, with a particular focus on the critical roles of glycosylation in key neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We explore how glycosylation abnormalities contribute to disease pathogenesis through effects on immune recognition, protein aggregation, and cellular functions. Understanding the molecular underpinnings of these diseases may pave the way for the development of therapeutic strategies targeting glycosylation pathways, ultimately improving clinical outcomes for patients.
