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

Neuroinflammation plays a dual role in brain health supporting defense and repair, but causes neurotoxicity when persistent. Microglia and astrocytes coordinate these responses through cytokine signaling and extracellular vesicles (EVs), though their vesicle-mediated communication remains unclear. This study investigated whether EVs from activated microglia (ABEVs) influence astrocyte polarization and inflammatory signaling. BV-2 microglial cells were activated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and microvesicle (ABMVs) and exosome (ABEXs) EVs were isolated via sequential ultracentrifugation. Primary mouse astrocytes were treated with LPS, ABMVs, or ABEXs, and expression of reactive astrocyte markers (
