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

introductionLiver fibrosis is a crucial pathological factor in the persistence and progression of chronic liver disease. Increasing evidence has demonstrated the significant potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in the clinical treatment of liver fibrosis. This study aimed to mechanistically investigate the impact of BMSC-derived EVs (BMSC-EVs) containing miR-7045-5p on the autophagy of activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) during liver fibrosis.

methodBMSCs were isolated from the bilateral femurs and tibiae of mice. Their identity was confirmed via immunofluorescence staining for the BMSC marker CD44. EVs were harvested from BMSC culture medium at passages 3-5 and then DiR-labeled. Labeled BMSC-EVs were co-cultured with the HSC-T6 cell line to determine their uptake and sub-cellular localization in HSCs. Various methods, such as western blotting, qRT-PCR, and ELISA, were employed to assess the effects of BMSC-EVs on the fibrotic activation (marked by COL1-A1 and α-SMA expression) and autophagy (p62, Atg16L1, Beclin-1, and LC3 expression) of HSC-T6 cells. Additionally, the BMSC-EV-induced changes in autophagy-related signaling pathways (PI3K, AKT, and mTOR pathways) in these cells were evaluated. Finally, the gene-chip detection technology was utilized to predict the involvement of BMSC-EV-derived miRNAs (BMSC-EV-miRs) in the observed effects, with a focus on miR-7045-5p, and our findings were validated in HSCs transfected with a miR-7045-5p mimic.

resultThe gene-chip detection results indicated that miR-7045-5p was enriched in BMSC-EVs compared with BMSCs and targeted Akt. In the CCl

conclusionBMSC-EVs promote autophagy in HSC-T6 cells and alleviate liver fibrosis by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway at least in part by delivering anti-fibrotic miRNAs, such as miR-7045-5p.
