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

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) obtained from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown considerable promise as restorative stroke treatment. In a head-to-head comparison in mice exposed to transient proximal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), sEVs obtained from MSCs cultured under hypoxic conditions particularly potently enhanced long-term brain tissue survival, microvascular integrity, and angiogenesis. These observations suggest that hypoxic preconditioning might represent the strategy of choice for harvesting MSC-sEVs for clinical stroke trials. To test the efficacy of hypoxic MSCs in a second stroke model in an additional species, we now exposed 6-8-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats to permanent distal MCAO and intravenously administered vehicle, platelet sEVs, or sEVs obtained from hypoxic MSCs (1% O
