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

Retinal ischemia is a major cause of vision loss and impairment and a common underlying mechanism associated with diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and central retinal artery occlusion. The regenerative capacity of the diseased human retina is limited. Our previous studies have shown the neuroprotective effects of intravitreal injection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and MSC-conditioned medium in retinal ischemia in rats. Based upon the hypothesis that the neuroprotective effects of MSCs and conditioned medium are largely mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs), MSC derived EVs were tested in an in-vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) model of retinal ischemia. Treatment of R28 retinal cells with MSC-derived EVs significantly reduced cell death and attenuated loss of cell proliferation. Mechanistic studies on the mode of EV endocytosis by retinal cells were performed in vitro. EV endocytosis was dose- and temperature-dependent, saturable, and occurred via cell surface heparin sulfate proteoglycans mediated by the caveolar endocytic pathway. The administration of MSC-EVs into the vitreous humor 24 h after retinal ischemia in a rat model significantly enhanced functional recovery, and decreased neuro-inflammation and apoptosis. EVs were taken up by retinal neurons, retinal ganglion cells, and microglia. They were present in the vitreous humor for four weeks after intravitreal administration, with saturable binding to vitreous humor components. Overall, this study highlights the potential of MSC-EV as biomaterials for neuroprotective and regenerative therapy in retinal disorders.
