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

Prolonged high-dose administration of synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) leads to limb muscle atrophy and weakness, yet its underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Muscle fibers and muscle satellite cells (MSCs) are essential for skeletal muscle development and associated pathologies. This study demonstrates that dexamethasone (Dex) induced MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) impair myogenesis in muscle fiber-like cells (MFLCs) via inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) suppression. High-throughput sequencing revealed a marked upregulation of miR-335-5p in MSC-derived EVs following Dex treatment. Mechanistically, EV miR-335-5p targeted MAPK11, leading to iNOS downregulation and subsequent UPS activation in MFLCs, which directly promoted muscle protein degradation. Collectively, our findings identify the EV miR-335-5p/MAPK11/iNOS axis as a critical mediator of GC-induced muscle atrophy, offering novel insights into therapeutic strategies targeting EV-mediated signaling in muscle wasting disorders.
