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

Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) is a congenital malformation of the enteric nervous system (ENS) caused by deficient enteric neural crest cell (ENCC) colonization. However, the mechanisms inducing impaired ENCC colonization remain unclear. This study investigates the involvement of extracellular vesicles (EVs), pivotal mediators of intercellular communication, in ENS development and HSCR pathogenesis. We find that treatment with plasma-derived EVs from children with HSCR (HSCR-EV) significantly inhibits ENCC proliferation and migration. MIR22HG is identified as the key mediator of the HSCR-EV-induced suppression of ENCC proliferation and migration. Schwann cells within the aganglionic colon of HSCR children derive EVs containing upregulated MIR22HG. In vitro, Schwann cell-derived EV-MIR22HG inhibits ENCC proliferation and migration. In vivo, it blocks ENCC colonization in the distal colon and disrupts ENS formation. MPP3 is identified as a potential downstream target of MIR22HG, with MIR22HG downregulating its expression via the m
