Viral and non-viral cellular therapies for neurodegeneration.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. 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
Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are characterized by progressive loss of neurons and still lack curative treatment options. In this review, we describe current and developing therapeutic strategies that include viral vector-based gene delivery, antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) and RNA interference methods, stem cell transplantation, and genome editing technologies. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) and lentiviruses have been used for gene delivery in preclinical and clinical studies, while ASOs are under development to reduce expression of pathogenic proteins such as tau, α-synuclein, and mutant huntingtin. Cellular therapies, including mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based paracrine support and transplantation of neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), are being evaluated, particularly in PD and AD. We also discuss important gene targets such as APOE4, GBA1, SCNA, and MAPT, and how treatment strategies may differ between monogenic and polygenic forms of these disorders. Lastly, we highlight recent efforts focused on genes like TREM2, PINK1, and progranulin, and examine their role in the future development of gene- and cell-based interventions.
