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

backgroundMicroglial activation in the spinal trigeminal nucleus (STN) plays a crucial role in the development of trigeminal neuralgia (TN). The involvement of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 1 (NMDAR1, NR1) in TN has been established. Initial evidence suggests that stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) have a potential therapeutic effect in attenuating TN. In this study, we propose that SHED-derived exosomes (SHED-Exos) may alleviate TN by inhibiting microglial activation. This study sought to assess the curative effect of SHED-Exos administrated through the tail vein on a unilateral infraorbital nerve chronic constriction injury (CCI-ION) model in mice to reveal the role of SHED-Exos in TN and further clarify the potential mechanism.

resultsAnimals subjected to CCI-ION were administered SHED-Exos extracted by differential ultracentrifugation. SHED-Exos significantly alleviated TN in CCI mice (increasing the mechanical threshold and reducing p-NR1) and suppressed microglial activation (indicated by the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IBA-1, as well as p-AMPK) in vivo and in vitro. Notably, SHED-Exos worked in a concentration dependent manner. Mechanistically, miR-24-3p-upregulated SHED-Exos exerted a more significant effect, while miR-24-3p-inhibited SHED-Exos had a weakened effect. Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assays were utilized for target gene prediction and verification between miR-24-3p and IL1R1. Moreover, miR-24-3p targeted the IL1R1/p-p38 MAPK pathway in microglia was increased in CCI mice, and participated in microglial activation in the STN.

conclusionsmiR-24-3p-encapsulated SHED-Exos attenuated TN by suppressing microglial activation in the STN of CCI mice. Mechanistically, miR-24-3p blocked p-p38 MAPK signaling by targeting IL1R1. Theoretically, targeted delivery of miR-24-3p may offer a potential strategy for TN.
