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

The blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) is a physical barrier between the blood and the spinal cord parenchyma. Current evidence suggests that the disruption of BSCB integrity after spinal cord injury can lead to secondary injuries such as spinal cord edema and excessive inflammatory response. Regulatory T (Treg) cells are effective anti-inflammatory cells that can inhibit neuroinflammation after spinal cord injury, and their infiltration after spinal cord injury exhibits the same temporal and spatial characteristics as the automatic repair of BSCB. However, few studies have assessed the relationship between Treg cells and spinal cord injury, emphasizing BSCB integrity. This study explored whether Treg affects the recovery of BSCB after SCI and the underlying mechanism. We confirmed that spinal cord angiogenesis and Treg cell infiltration occurred simultaneously after SCI. Furthermore, we observed significant effects on BSCB repair and motor function in mice by Treg cell knockout and overexpression. Subsequently, we demonstrated the presence and function of exosomes in vitro. In addition, we found that Treg cell-derived exosomes encapsulated miR-2861, and miR-2861 regulated the expression of vascular tight junction (TJs) proteins. The luciferase reporter assay confirmed the negative regulation of IRAK1 by miR-2861, and a series of rescue experiments validated the biological function of IRAKI in regulating BSCB. In summary, we demonstrated that Treg cell-derived exosomes could package and deliver miR-2861 and regulate the expression of IRAK1 to affect BSCB integrity and motor function after SCI in mice, which provides novel insights for functional repair and limiting inflammation after SCI.
