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

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of severe neurodevelopmental disorders. This study aimed to elucidate the potential ameliorating effect of postnatal administration of MSCs-derived Exo in a rat model of ASD. Male pups were divided into control (Cont), (VPA); pups of pregnant rats injected with VPA subcutaneously (S.C.) at embryonic day (ED) 13, and (VPA + Exo); pups were intravenously (I.V.) injected with MSCs-derived Exo either at postnatal day (P) 21 (adolescent VPA + Exo) or P70 (adult VPA + Exo). They were evaluated for physiological, histopathological and immunohistochemical changes of cerebellar structure, and genetic expression of PI3k and mTOR. The VPA adult group showed increased locomotor activity and impaired social activity, and anxiety. The cerebellar histological structure was disrupted in VPA groups. VPA + Exo groups showed preservation of the normal histological structure of the cerebellum. Immunohistochemical studies revealed enhanced expression of caspase-3, GFAP, Nestin, and VEGF in VPA groups beside modifying PI3K and mTOR genetic expression. MSCs-derived Exo ameliorated most of the rat cerebellar histopathological alterations and behavioral changes. Their mitigating effect could be established through their antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-neurogenesis effect besides modifying PI3k-mTOR signaling.
