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

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles, which are released into the extracellular space by all types of cells, especially stem cells. Compared with stem cells, exosomes are safer and can be considered one of the most promising therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative disease. We examined the effect of exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) on a rat model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). For this purpose, male Wistar rats weighing 220-250 g were used. For the induction of AD, rats received a daily dosage of 100 mg/kg Aluminum chloride (Alcl3) by oral gavage for 60 days. Also, Primary BM-MSC was extracted from the femora of Wistar rats (male, 100-150 g). Extracted exosomes were Characterized and Qualified using TEM Microscope and Zetasizer Nano. Specific markers of exosomes were evaluated by Flow cytometry. MSC-extracted exosomes (150 µg/µl) were injected 2 or 5 times into the animals via tail vein on specific days. Our data revealed that receiving exosomes significantly prevented AlCl3-induced enhancement of hippocampal APP gene expression, beta-amyloid plaque formation, impairment of passive avoidance learning and spatial memory. However, exosome injections in healthy subjects caused some negative effects such as spatial memory impairment. It seems, MSC-derived exosomes can be considered as a candidate to prevent AD progression.
