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

aimTo study the role of exosomes in the protective effect of cerebral ischemic preconditioning (cerebral-IPC) against cerebral I/R injury.

methodMouse models of cerebral-IPC and MCAO/R were established as described previously, and their behavioral, pathological, and proteomic changes were analyzed. Neuro-2a subjected to OGD/R were treated with exosomes isolated from the plasma of sham-operated and cerebral-IPC mice. The differentially expressed miRNAs between exosomes derived from sham-operated (S-exosomes) and preconditioned (IPC-exosomes) mice were identified through miRNA array, and their targets were identified through database search. The control and OGD/R cells were treated with the IPC-exosomes, miRNA mimic or target protein inhibitor, and their viability, oxidative, stress and apoptosis rates were measured. The activated pathways were identified by analyzing the levels of relevant proteins.

resultsCerebral-IPC mitigated the cerebral injury following ischemia and reperfusion, and increased the number of plasma exosomes. IPC-exosomes increased the survival of Neuro-2a cells after OGD/R. The miR-451a targeting Rac1 was upregulated in the IPC-exosomes relative to S-exosomes. The miR-451a mimic and the Rac1 inhibitor NSC23766 reversed OGD/R-mediated activation of Rac1 and its downstream pathways.

conclusionCerebral-IPC ameliorated cerebral I/R injury by inducing the release of exosomes containing miR-451a.
