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

Background: Enhanced blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability exacerbates clinical symptoms and long-term disability after ischemic stroke. Exosomes derived from cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (EC-Exo) can enhance neural function recovery in MCAO/R mice. However, it remains unclear whether the brain protective effects of EC-Exo are associated with improved BBB structure and functionality. Methods: This study developed an Results: EC-Exo improves BBB integrity by increasing TEER values and decreasing Papp Conclusion: In conclusion, EC-Exo enhances BBB integrity by activating PDGF-PDGFRβ and Ang1/Ang2-Tie2 signaling pathways, promoting communication between endothelial cells and pericytes. This introduces an innovative adjuvant therapy for treating ischemic stroke.
