Role of Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) in Spinal Cord Injury (SCI): A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Molecular neurobiology, 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
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) that leads to impairments in both motor and sensory functions. Immune system plays a critical role in SCI through various mechanisms conducted by neurons, glial cells, and their related secretions. Immune cells receive signals via their membrane and cytoplasmic receptors; among the most well-known of these are pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). This review examines structure, different subtypes, and the role of PRRs in SCI by summarizing animal studies. To identify relevant studies, a comprehensive literature search was carried out from inception to March 2026 using PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The search strategy combined Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms and keyword variations related to spinal cord injury, pattern recognition receptors, neuroinflammation, glial cells, immunomodulation and therapeutic interventions. Key findings include major families of PRRs, which contain Toll-like receptors (TLRs), NOD-like receptors (NLRs), C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs), AIM2-like receptors (ALRs), and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), which are located on the cell surface, in endosomal compartments, or in the cytoplasm. Activation of PRRs can trigger signaling cascades that are involved in neuroinflammation, microglial polarity, gliosis, pyroptosis, excitotoxicity, demyelination, and locomotor function. Additionally, preclinical studies in SCI animal models represent PRRs as potential therapeutic targets, in which activators of TLR2 or suppressors of other types of PRRs could represent a promising avenue for SCI recovery. Further investigations are warranted to clarify the underlying mechanisms of PRRs and their immunomodulatory effects on SCI.
