Intraoperative application of an antioxidant nanoparticle-hydrogel targeting microglia regulates neuroinflammation in traumatic brain injury.
Article in Journal of nanobiotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Microglia play a critical role in neuroinflammation, a key secondary injury mechanism following traumatic brain injury (TBI). The colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) inhibitor PLX5622 has shown promise in suppressing neuroinflammation by depleting microglia, but it lacks specificity in targeting microglia at the injury site. To overcome this limitation, we developed PLX5622 nanoparticles functionalized with the CAQK peptide for lesion-specific targeting and combined them with a hydrogel (GelMA-PPS) that possesses potent reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capabilities. This nanoparticle-hydrogel drug delivery system (GelMA-PPS/P) significantly enhanced the delivery efficiency and therapeutic efficacy of PLX5622 in TBI treatment. Localized administration of this system effectively depleted microglia at the injury site, suppressed neuroinflammation, and reduced the release of inflammatory cytokines. Its ROS scavenging ability was also validated in vitro and in vivo. Together, these effects synergistically improved neurological function recovery in TBI mouse models. This innovative strategy offers a comprehensive and targeted approach to managing neuroinflammation after TBI, providing a promising avenue for advancing TBI therapies.
