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

introductionIntracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) elicits a robust inflammatory response, which significantly contributes to secondary brain damage. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a pivotal role in intercellular communication by transporting immune-regulatory proteins. However, the precise contribution of these EV-carried proteins to neuroinflammation following ICH remains elusive. Here, we identified proteins dysregulated in EVs and further studied the EVs-enriched Serum amyloid A 1 (SAA1) to understand its role in neuroinflammation and ICH injury.

methodsWe used mass spectrometry to analyse the EV protein cargo isolated from plasma samples of 30 ICH patients and 30 healthy controls. To validate the function of the dysregulated protein SAA1, an ICH mouse model was conducted to assess the effects of SAA1 neutralisation on brain oedema, neurological function and infiltration of peripheral leucocytes.

results49 upregulated proteins and 12 downregulated proteins were observed in EVs from ICH patients compared with controls. Notably, SAA1 demonstrated a significant increase in EVs associated with ICH. We observed that exogenous SAA1 stimulation led to an augmentation in the population of microglia and astrocytes, exacerbating neuroinflammation. Neutralising SAA1 with an anti-SAA1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) diminished the prevalence of proinflammatory microglia and the infiltration of peripheral leucocytes, which ameliorates brain oedema and neurological function in ICH mice.

conclusionOur findings provide compelling evidence implicating EVs and their cargo proteins in ICH pathogenesis. SAA1 emerges as a potential therapeutic target for mitigating neuroinjury and neuroinflammation following ICH.
