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

background and hypothesisSchizophrenia (SCZ) is a multifaceted mental disorder marked by a spectrum of symptoms, including hallucinations, delusions, cognitive deficits, and negative symptoms. Its etiology involves intricate interactions between genetic and environmental factors, posing significant challenges for effective treatment. We hypothesized that intranasal administration of exosomes derived from nasal olfactory mucosal mesenchymal stem cells (OM-MSCs-exos) could alleviate SCZ-like behaviors in a murine model induced by methylazoxymethanol (MAM). STUDY

designWe conducted a comprehensive investigation to assess the impact of intranasally delivered OM-MSC-exos on SCZ-like behaviors in MAM-induced mice. This study encompassed behavioral assessments, neuroinflammatory markers, glial activation, synaptic protein expression, and neurogenesis within the hippocampus. STUDY

resultsOur findings demonstrated that intranasal administration of OM-MSC-exos effectively ameliorated SCZ-like behaviors, specifically addressing social withdrawal and sensory gating deficits in the MAM-induced murine model. Furthermore, OM-MSC-exos intervention yielded a reduction in neuroinflammatory markers and a suppression of microglial activation within the hippocampus. Simultaneously, we observed an upregulation of key synaptic protein expression, including PSD95 and TH, the rate-limiting enzyme for dopamine biosynthesis.

conclusionsOur study underscores the therapeutic potential of OM-MSC-exos in mitigating SCZ-like behavior. The OM-MSC-exos have the capacity to modulate glial cell activation, diminish neuroinflammation, and promote BDNF-associated synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis, thus ameliorating SCZ-like behaviors. In summary, intranasal administration of OM-MSC-exos offers a multifaceted approach to address SCZ mechanisms, promising innovative treatments for this intricate disorder.
