Immunomodulation by the combination of statin and matrix-bound nanovesicle enhances optic nerve regeneration.
Article in NPJ Regenerative medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Modulating inflammation is critical to enhance nerve regeneration after injury. However, clinically applicable regenerative therapies that modulate inflammation have not yet been established. Here, we demonstrate synergistic effects of the combination of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, statin/fluvastatin and critical components of the extracellular matrix, Matrix-Bound Nanovesicles (MBV) to enhance axon regeneration and neuroprotection after mouse optic nerve injury. Mechanistically, co-intravitreal injections of fluvastatin and MBV robustly promote infiltration of monocytes and neutrophils, which lead to RGC protection and axon regeneration. Furthermore, monocyte infiltration is triggered by elevated expression of CCL2, a chemokine, in the superficial layer of the retina after treatment with a combination of fluvastatin and MBV or IL-33, a cytokine contained within MBV. Finally, this therapy can be further combined with AAV-based gene therapy blocking anti-regenerative pathways in RGCs to extend regenerated axons. These data highlight novel molecular insights into the development of immunomodulatory regenerative therapy.
