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 formation of vascular niche is pivotal during the early stage of peripheral nerve regeneration. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of vascular niche in the regulation of peripheral nerve repair remain unclear. Netrin-1 (NTN1) was found up-regulated in nerve stump after peripheral nerve injury (PNI). Herein, we demonstrated that NTN1-high endothelial cells (NTN1+ECs) were the critical component of vascular niche, fostering angiogenesis, axon regeneration, and repair-related phenotypes. We also found that NTN1+EC-derived exosomes (NTN1 EC-EXO) were involved in the formation of vascular niche as a critical role. Multi-omics analysis further verified that NTN1 EC-EXO carried a low-level expression of let7a-5p and activated key pathways associated with niche formation including focal adhesion, axon guidance, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-AKT, and mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway. Together, our study suggested that the construction of a pre-regenerative niche induced by NTN1 EC-EXO could establish a beneficial microenvironment for nerve repair and facilitate functional recovery after PNI.
