Microglial Activation in Cerebrovascular Accidents and the Manifestation of Major Depressive Disorder: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Brain sciences, 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
Emerging evidence highlights a strong association between cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and major depressive disorder (MDD), mediated by immune dysregulation. Elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines, reduced adaptive immune responses, altered immune cell composition, and increased microglial activation characterize this bidirectional relationship. Microglial activation appears to be a central molecular mechanism linking CVA and MDD, underscoring the immune system's crucial role in disease pathogenesis. This interplay suggests that immune-driven processes not only exacerbate neurological damage but also contribute to psychiatric manifestations. Based on current literature, the role of proinflammatory processes, particularly microglial activation, in the relationship between CVA and MDD warrants special attention. In this context, the participation of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), a cytosolic adaptor protein, appears to play a key role in proinflammatory signaling pathways driving microglial activation. Thus, focusing on MyD88 emerges as a promising complementary strategy for future research and for advancing our understanding of the mechanisms underlying microglial homeostasis dysregulation and its link to the pathophysiology of MDD and CVA.
