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

Neuroinflammation plays a fundamental role in several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia worldwide. As the main defense response of the central nervous system (CNS), neuroinflammation can be either protective or detrimental depending on the stage of the disease. The pivotal role of neuroinflammation in AD has led to increasing investigations into neuroinflammatory mechanisms, aiming to develop AD-modifying therapies. A significant advance in the field was the emergence of the human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) model, enabling the study of patient-derived cells. Moreover, the development of hiPSC-derived brain organoids, which mimic specific aspects of the human CNS, has expanded our understanding of neuroinflammation in AD. Here, we review how AD organoid models have evolved, focusing on the integration of microglia-the brain's primary immune surveillance cells. We also summarize recent findings on how glial activation and the crosstalk between microglia and other CNS cells affect AD progression. Lastly, we address the potential of hiPSC-derived organoids as a preclinical model for screening AD drugs.
