Some Basics on Innate Neuroimmunology for Nonspecialists.
Review in Neuroimmunomodulation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAlthough this seems to be common knowledge among experts, it is important to remind readers that two populations, namely, brain microglia and macrophages, found in different compartments of the central nervous system, play essential roles in innate neuroimmunology. SUMMARY: Here, some historical and conceptual background will be provided that should allow the reader to place recent findings on these cells in some context and perspective. KEY MESSAGES: It will be argued that (1) the brain is not devoid of immune response, but does represent an immune-privileged site, (2) innate neuroimmunology concerns brain border macrophages and parenchymal microglia, (3) even though brain border macrophages have been less extensively studied than parenchymal microglia, it is progressively becoming clear that these populations play different roles in physiological and pathological conditions and (4) while it is tempting to only use the latest technologies to obtain new findings, it is also essential, for the sake of science, to "triangulate" with findings obtained with more classic approaches. To determine whether and when innate neuroimmune responses are protective or pathological will be an important aim for future research.
