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

Cell‒cell communication following spinal cord injury (SCI) plays a key role in remyelination and neurological recovery. Although communication between neuron-neural stem cells (NSCs) affects remyelination, its precise mechanism remains unclear. The present study investigated the biological effects of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from neurons on the differentiation of NSCs and the remyelination of axons in a rat model for SCI. We found that that EVs derived from neurons promoted the differentiation of NSCs into oligodendrocytes and the remyelination of axons in SCI rats. However, neuron-derived EVs lost their biological effects after inflammatory stimulation of these neurons from which they originate. Further analysis demonstrated that the inflammatory stimulation on neurons upregulated miR-21 within EVs, which targeted SMAD 7 and upregulated the TGF-β/SMAD2 signaling pathway, resulting in an excess of astrocytic scar boundaries and in remyelination failure. Moreover, these effects could be abolished by miR-21 inhibitors/antagomirs. Considered together, these results indicate that inflammatory stimulation of neurons prevents remyelination following SCI via the upregulation of miR-21 expression within neuron-derived EVs, and this takes place through SMAD 7-mediated activation of the TGF-β/SMAD2 signaling pathway.
