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

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating neurological condition with limited therapeutic options for mitigating secondary brain injury. This study investigates the neuroprotective potential of exosomes derived from human neural stem cells (hNSC-exo) in a rat SAH model, focusing on their molecular mechanisms through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and transcriptomic profiling. This study demonstrated that hNSC-exo administration significantly ameliorated neurological deficits, reduced blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and attenuated neuronal damage post-SAH. Behavioral assessments revealed improved cognitive and motor recovery in hNSC-exo-treated rats, supported by histopathological evidence of preserved neuronal architecture and reduced edema. scRNA-seq analysis revealed a marked increase in astrocyte proportions and vitality following hNSC-exo treatment, alongside suppression of neurotoxic microglial activation. Transcriptomic profiling identified the BDNF/TRKB signaling pathway as a critical mediator, with hNSC-exo upregulating BDNF and TRKB expression both in vivo and in vitro. Functional validation confirmed that hNSC-exo enhanced astrocyte survival via BDNF/TRKB activation, while knockdown of BDNF or TRKB reversed these protective effects. Furthermore, hNSC-exo mitigated neuroinflammation by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-18) and microglial C1q expression. These findings highlight hNSC-exo as a novel therapeutic strategy for SAH, leveraging astrocyte-mediated neuroprotection and BDNF/TRKB pathway activation to counteract secondary injury. This study provides mechanistic insights into exosome-based therapies and underscores their potential for clinical translation in cerebrovascular disorders.
