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

Peripheral nerve injury is a salient clinical problem but lacks successful treatment schemes. Here we show the protective mechanism of hypoxia-induced Schwann cells-derived extracellular vesicles (H-EVs) carrying lncRNA TNXA-PS1 in peripheral nerve injury. EVs isolated from RSC96 cells undergo hypoxia (H) induction. Sciatic nerve injury is induced in rats, and the animals are evaluated by Sciatic Nerve Function Index, gastrocnemius muscle mass ratio, hematoxylin & eosin stain, and sensory recovery tests. LncRNA TNXA-PS1, miR-338-3p, and EGFL7 expression is tested by RT-qPCR and Western blot. Proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of H-EVs- treated endothelial cells are assessed by CCK-8, EdU staining, transwell, and tubular formation assays. Nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), NF200, P0, CD31, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are detected. Dual luciferase assay analyzes the binding of lncRNA TNXA-PS1, miR-338-3p, and EGFL7. Results reveal that H-EVs alleviate gastrocnemius muscle atrophy, facilitate motor function recovery, and elevate NGF, BDNF, NF200, P0, CD31, and VEGF in tissues. H-EVs promote endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and tubular formation. Mechanistically, H-EVs carry lncRNA TNXA-PS1 into endothelial cells, thus upregulating EGFL7 expression by sponging miR-338-3p. Collectively, H-EVs carrying lncRNA TNXA-PS1 promote angiogenesis and nerve function recovery post sciatic nerve injury via miR-338-3p/EGFL7 axis.
