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

Spinal cord injury (SCI) can cause irreversible trauma to nervous tissue, leading to permanent damage to the patient's motor and sensory functions. Extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EVs) can simulate most of the functions of MSCs and are considered an ideal treatment option for SCI. However, the potential mechanism of MSC-EVs treatment for SCI still needs to be explored. We cultured neurons in vitro to investigate the effect of miR-124 on the p62-Keap1-Nrf2 pathway. Besides, MSC-EVs containing miR-124 were injected into a rat spinal cord injury model to observe their neural repair effect. The accumulation of p62 can be reversed by miR-124, which promotes autophagy and alleviates oxidative stress, thereby exerting neuroprotective effects. Rats who received injection of MSC-EVs overexpressing miR-124 after surgery showed higher BBB scores, lower levels of cell apoptosis, and better spinal cord tissue morphology. Our results indicated that miR-124 can stabilize the p62-Keap1-Nrf2 loop, thereby promoting autophagy and alleviating oxidative stress to exert neuroprotective effects. Our research proposes a novel potential target for treating SCI.
