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

Cognitive impairment is associated with perturbations of fine-tuned neuroimmune interactions. At the molecular level, alterations in cellular metabolism can compromise brain function, driving structural damage and cognitive deficits. In this Review, we focus on the bidirectional interactions between microglia, the brain-resident immune cells and neurons to dissect the metabolic determinants of brain resilience and cognition. We first outline these metabolic pathways during development and adult life. Then, we delineate how these processes are perturbed in ageing, as well as in metabolic, neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders. By doing so, we provide a mechanistic understanding of the metabolic pathways relevant to cognitive function in health and disease, thus paving the way for novel therapeutic targets based on the emerging field of neuroimmunometabolism.
