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

Ischemic stroke (IS) accounts for over 80% of all stroke cases, featuring high disability, mortality, and recurrence rates. Conventional intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy are limited by narrow therapeutic windows, reperfusion injury, and the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which impedes the entry of neuroprotective agents into the brain parenchyma. Exosomes (Exos) are cell-secreted nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs) that carry miRNAs, proteins, and lipids, with low immunogenicity, BBB permeability, and ease of genetic modification, making them promising cell-free therapeutic agents for central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Exos alleviate cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by suppressing multiple forms of programmed cell death, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation, repairing the BBB, and facilitating angiogenesis and neurogenesis. Genetic engineering, surface peptide modification, and drug loading further enhance brain-targeted exosomal enrichment. This review systematically summarises Exos biogenesis, multi-pathway neural repair mechanisms mediated by exosomal miRNAs, engineered delivery strategies, translational bottlenecks, and future research directions, aiming to provide theoretical support for the clinical transformation of Exos therapy for IS.
