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

Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) are prevalent complications in elderly patients following surgery, characterized by cognitive decline and memory impairment. This study investigates the contribution of plasma-derived exosomal microRNA hsa-miR-3677-3p to PND pathogenesis via ABCB8 regulation and subsequent induction of neuronal ferroptosis. Exosomes were isolated from plasma of patients with delayed neurocognitive recovery (dNCR) and non-dNCR patients. Characterization confirmed successful exosome isolation, revealing distinct microRNA profiles between the two groups. MicroRNA sequencing identified 69 differentially expressed microRNAs, with hsa-miR-3677-3p significantly upregulated in dNCR patients. Functional enrichment analysis implicated these microRNAs in mitochondrial function and nervous system development. In vitro overexpression of hsa-miR-3677-3p mimicked the pathological phenotype, leading to downregulation of ABCB8, which resulted in iron dyshomeostasis and oxidative stress, marked by reduced antioxidant capacity, intracellular iron accumulation, elevated malondialdehyde (MDA), a decreased glutathione/glutathione disulfide (GSH/GSSG) ratio, and increased mitochondrial lipid peroxidation (MitoPerOx). Treatment with the ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) attenuated these alterations, restoring mitochondrial function and reducing oxidative damage. Taken together, our findings indicate that exosomal hsa-miR-3677-3p modulates ABCB8-mediated ferroptosis in neurons, highlighting a novel insight into PND pathogenesis and potential therapeutic strategies.
