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

We show that extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by mesenchymal cells (i.e., fibro-adipogenic progenitors-FAPs) mediate microRNA (miR) transfer to muscle stem cells (MuSCs) and that exposure of dystrophic FAPs to HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) increases the intra-EV levels of a subset of miRs, which cooperatively target biological processes of therapeutic interest, including regeneration, fibrosis, and inflammation. Increased levels of miR-206 in EVs released by FAPs of muscles from Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients or mdx mice exposed to HDACi are associated with enhanced regeneration and decreased fibrosis. Consistently, EVs from HDACi-treated dystrophic FAPs can stimulate MuSC activation and expansion ex vivo, and promote regeneration, while inhibiting fibrosis and inflammation of dystrophic muscles, upon intramuscular transplantation in mdx mice, in vivo. AntagomiR-mediated blockade of individual miRs reveals a specific requirement of miR-206 for EV-induced expansion of MuSCs and regeneration of dystrophic muscles, and indicates that cooperative activity of HDACi-induced miRs accounts for the net biological effect of these EVs. These data point to pharmacological modulation of EV content as novel strategy for therapeutic interventions in muscular dystrophies.
