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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) lacks effective disease-modifying therapies, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADMSCs) have emerged as promising therapeutic candidates. In this study, we investigated the brain biodistribution and dose-dependent effects of intranasally administered ADMSC-EVs in female APP/PS1 mice, with age-matched wild-type mice and vehicle-treated transgenic mice serving as controls. EV biodistribution was assessed using PKH26 labeling, cognitive performance was evaluated using the Morris water maze, Y-maze, and novel object recognition tests, and hippocampal amyloid pathology and plasma AD-related biomarkers were analyzed. Intranasally delivered ADMSC-EVs rapidly reached multiple brain regions, including the hippocampus, improved learning and memory performance, and reduced hippocampal amyloid-β 1-42 (Aβ42) deposition and plaque burden. These effects followed a nonlinear dose-response pattern, with reduced efficacy at low doses and no additional benefits at high doses. Notably, partial behavioral and pathological benefits persisted after treatment cessation. Together, these findings show that intranasal ADMSC-EVs exert therapeutic effects in APP/PS1 mice and support the importance of dose optimization and post-treatment durability in the development of EV-based interventions for AD.
