Mitigating Cancer Therapy-Related Cognitive Impairment by Targeted Activation of Undruggable Phosphatase.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Cancer therapy-related cognitive impairment (CTRCI) is a debilitating neurotoxic condition adversely impacting cancer patients during and post-cancer treatments. The cancer treatments linked to CTRCI include chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Despite CTRCI severely affecting the psychological and social, cognitive functions, and the overall quality of life of cancer survivors, no effective medications are available currently. Our prior studies have indicated hippocampal tyrosine phosphatase protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type O (PTPRO) as a putative target for CTRCI. However, phosphatase is historically considered undruggable, and delivering drugs across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is challenging. Here, we developed a novel delivery system using neuron-targeted extracellular vesicles (EVs) engineered with a neuron-specific peptide rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) to transport a small activating RNA (saRNA) targeting Ptpro (RVG-EVs-saPtpro). We evaluated the stability, dynamic distribution, cytotoxicity, and brain specificity of RVG-EVs-saPtpro in cellular and animal models. A single intravenous injection of RVG-EVs-saPtpro resulted in sustained elevation of PTPRO in the brain for at least 28 days in CTRCI mice. More importantly, RVG-EVs-saPtpro significantly alleviated CTRCI symptoms by enhancing neuronal survival, neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. These findings highlight the potential of RVG-EVs-saPtpro system for targeted treatment of CTRCI.
