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

Hydrocephalus is one of the most common neurological disorders, but pharmacotherapy options are currently lacking due to the complex pathogenesis. The blood-CSF barrier (BCSFB), consisting of choroid plexus (ChP) epithelial cells, is a crucial gate for the entry of peripheral immune cells and its dysfunction emerges as an important contributor to hydrocephalus pathology. Meanwhile, SPAK-mediated CSF hypersecretion in ChP epithelial cells plays an important role in hydrocephalus. Here, we fabricated a transferrin receptor-targeted nano-drug (siR/RSV@TNP) that can intelligently navigate to the blood-CSF barrier and prepared for combined delivery of resveratrol (RSV) and SPAK siRNA (siSPAK) for synergetic hydrocephalus therapy. As expected, siR/RSV@TNP fulfilled its function of knocking down SPAK expression, relieving inflammation and oxidative stress, retrieving blood-CSF barrier integrity, and ultimately preventing ventriculomegaly and hydrocephalus in male mice. Here, we demonstrate that targeting the choroid plexus blood-CSF barrier and cerebrospinal fluid hypersecretion offers a promising approach for alleviating hydrocephalus.
