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

Neuronal circuitry remodelling, which comprises excitatory and inhibitory neurons, is critical for improving neurological outcomes after a stroke. Preclinical studies have shown that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have a therapeutic effect on stroke recovery. However, it is highly challenging to use sEVs to specifically target individual neuronal populations to enhance neuronal circuitry remodelling after stroke. In the present study, using a chemogenetic approach to specifically activate peri-infarct cortical interneurons in combination with the administration of sEVs derived from cerebral endothelial cells (CEC-sEVs), we showed that the CEC-sEVs were preferentially taken up by the activated neurons, leading to significant improvement of functional outcome after stroke, which was associated with augmentation of peri-infarct cortical axonal/dendritic outgrowth and of axonal remodelling of the corticospinal tract. The ultrastructural and Western blot analyses revealed that neurons with internalization of CEC-sEVs exhibited significantly reduced numbers of damaged mitochondria and proteins that mediate dysfunctional mitochondria, respectively. Together, these data indicate that the augmented uptake of CEC-sEVs by activated peri-infarct cortical interneurons facilitates neuronal circuitry remodelling and functional recovery after stroke, which has the potential to be a novel therapy for improving stroke recovery.
