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

Introduction: Neuroinflammation is involved in a wide range of neurological disorders, yet the lack of minimally invasive biomarkers hampers early diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring. Glycine receptors (GlyRs), classically known as inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the central nervous system, are increasingly recognized as regulators of immune signaling. Here, we identify GlyRs as novel peripheral indicators of neuroinflammation. Methods and results: We demonstrate that GlyRα1, α2, and α3 subunits are constitutively expressed in human and murine immune cells, with GlyRα2 predominating across peripheral tissues and the brain. Using ex vivo and Conclusion: Together, these findings define a brain-glycinergic signaling-blood axis that maintains homeostatic protectivity. GlyR subunits, particularly GlyRα1 and α3, represent a neuropathology-induced modulation of GlyR signaling in peripheral immune cells.
