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

Pathological neovascularization is a hallmark of many vision-threatening diseases. However, some patients exhibit poor responses to current anti-VEGF therapies due to resistance and limited efficacy. Recent studies have highlighted the roles of noncoding RNAs in various biological processes, paving the way for RNA-based therapeutics. In this study, we report a marked down-regulation of miR-205 under pathological conditions. miR-205 potently inhibits endothelial cell functions critical for pathological neovascularization, including proliferation, migration, and tube formation. Furthermore, miR-205 strengthens the endothelial barrier, thereby reducing vascular leakage. In mouse models of retinal and choroidal neovascularization, miR-205 administration effectively suppresses abnormal blood vessel formation and leakage. Mechanistically, miR-205 directly targets VEGFA and ANGPT2, which are key drivers of pathological neovascularization. To improve delivery, we successfully loaded miR-205 into exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells. This innovative approach avoids cytotoxicity while preserving therapeutic efficacy in both cellular and animal models. Collectively, our findings highlight miR-205 as a promising therapeutic for ocular neovascularization, with exosome delivery offering a novel and efficient strategy for treating vision-threatening vascular diseases.
