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

Ischemic cerebrovascular disease is a significant and common public health issue worldwide. The emerging roles of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) in ischemic neuronal injury continue to be investigated. The current study aimed to investigate the role of EV-derived miR-132 from MSCs in ischemic neuronal injury. EVs were initially isolated from bone MSCs (BMSCs) and subsequently evaluated. A middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) mouse model was constructed with the neurological function evaluated through a series of neurological scores, a pole test, and a foot fault test. Histopathological changes, neuron viability, and apoptosis, as well as cerebral infarction, were detected by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium hydrochloride (TTC) staining. The targeting relationship between microRNA (miR)-132 and Activin receptor type IIB (Acvr2b) was further confirmed based on dual-luciferase reporter gene assay results. Loss- and gain-of-function assays were conducted to elucidate the role of miR-132, EV-derived miR-132, Acvr2b, and Smad2 in oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-treated neurons, and in mice models. Neuronal cell viability and apoptosis were evaluated via Cell Counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and flow cytometry. Our results indicated that Acvr2b was highly expressed, while miR-132 was poorly expressed in the MCAO mice and OGD-treated neurons. Acvr2b silencing or upregulation of miR-132 led to an elevation in neuronal activity, decreased neuronal apoptosis, reduced expression of Bax, and cleaved-caspase 3, as well as increased Bcl-2 expression. Acvr2b expression was targeted and inhibited by miR-132. EV-derived Acvr2b promoted activation of phosphorylated-Smad2 (p-Smad2)/c-jun signaling pathway, ultimately inducing neuronal injury. Our study provides evidence demonstrating that the overexpression of c-jun inhibits the protective role of MSCs-derived EV-miR-132 in neuronal injury. Upregulation of EV-derived miR-132 released from MSCs attenuates ischemic neuronal injury by inhibiting Smad2/c-jun pathways
