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

Purpose: The pathological mechanisms underlying ischemic stroke are highly complex, with the neuroinflammatory response triggered by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion being a major contributor to secondary brain damage. This response significantly impedes neural tissue regeneration. Despite advancements in treatment, current anti-inflammatory strategies remain suboptimal in terms of safety and efficacy. This study aimed to develop an all-natural nanomedicine delivery system for the transnasal administration of puerarin, combined with the endogenous anti-inflammatory peptide Ac2-26, to enhance neuroprotection against ischemic stroke through a synergistic anti-inflammatory approach. Methods: In this study, collagen nanoparticles (PueNps) loaded with puerarin were synthesized, followed by the preparation of a chitosan hydrogel. The PueNps and Ac2-26 were co-encapsulated within the hydrogel, resulting in the formation of the PueNps&Ac2-26 gel formulation. The physicochemical properties of this formulation, as well as its biodistribution and anti-ischemic efficacy in the MCAO rat brain, were evaluated. Results: In this formulation system, the bioavailability of puerarin and Ac2-26 was enhanced, exhibiting sustained-release properties, which enabled efficient brain-targeted delivery. It effectively alleviated neurological impairment in MCAO rats, reduced the volume of cerebral infarction, and decreased brain water content. Additionally, the PueNps&Ac2-26 gel significantly inhibited neuroinflammation in rats and alleviated oxidative stress. Conclusion: The PueNps&Ac2-26 gel is a purely natural and efficient formulation system, offering a promising approach for the clinical treatment of ischemic stroke in the future.
