VPS28 regulates brain vasculature by controlling neuronal VEGF trafficking through extracellular vesicle secretion.
Article in iScience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) participate in intercellular communication and contribute to the angiogenesis. However, the understanding of the mechanisms underlying EVs secretion by neurons and their action on the vascular system of the central nervous system (CNS) remain rudimentary. Here, we show that vacuolar protein sorting 28 (Vps28) is essential for the sprouting of brain central arteries (CtAs) and for the integrity of blood-brain barrier (BBB) in zebrafish. Disruption of neuron-enriched Vps28 significantly decreased EVs secretion by regulating the formation of intracellular multivesicular bodies (MVBs). EVs derived from zebrafish embryos or mouse cortical neurons partially rescued the brain vasculature defect and brain leakage. Further investigations revealed that neuronal EVs containing vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) are key regulators in neurovascular communication. Our results indicate that Vps28 acts as an intercellular endosomal regulator mediating the secretion of neuronal EVs, which in turn communicate with endothelial cells to mediate angiogenesis through VEGF-A trafficking.
