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

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of disability in adults, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs) have demonstrated therapeutic potential in TBI treatment. However, their limited targeting ability, short half-life, and low bioavailability present significant challenges for clinical application. In this study, we engineered extracellular vesicles (EEVs) by transfecting hADSCs with lentivirus and incorporating ultra-small paramagnetic nanoparticles (USPNs), resulting in EVs with enhanced miRNA expression and targeted delivery capabilities. These EEVs were administered intranasally to specifically target injury sites, effectively modulating the NF-κB signaling pathway to suppress neuroinflammation. In both in vitro and in vivo assessments, EEVs exhibited superior efficacy in promoting neurofunctional recovery and neurogenesis after brain injury compared to unmodified EVs. Furthermore, validation using human brain organoid models confirmed EEVs' remarkable ability to suppress neuroinflammation, offering a promising strategy for TBI treatment.
