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

Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are highly adaptable, engaging in diverse functions beyond myelination. However, how OPCs adjust their roles after ischemic stroke and contribute to recovery remains largely unknown. To address this gap, we constructed a "transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) atlas" by integrating mouse single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets and combined it with ex vivo OPC cultures and in vivo cell transplantation experiments. This approach revealed the emergence of "angiogenic" OPCs in the subacute phase and "oligogenic" OPCs in the chronic phase, driven by distinct levels of hypoxia-severe hypoxia inducing angiogenic OPCs and mild hypoxia promoting oligogenic OPCs. Ex vivo, severe hypoxic preconditioning faithfully induced angiogenic OPCs, and their intravenous transplantation enhanced angiogenesis and improved recovery in tMCAO mice. These findings highlight "oxygen tone" as a key regulator of OPC dynamic adaptation after ischemic stroke, offering a promising strategy to harness OPCs for stroke cell therapy.
