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

backgroundExosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-exos) have been demonstrated with great potential in the treatment of multiple human diseases including acute kidney injury (AKI) by virtue of their intrinsic cargoes. However, there are major challenges of low yield and the lack of an established biomanufacturing platform to efficiently produce MSC-exos, thereby limiting their therapeutic application. Here, we aimed to establish a novel strategy to produce MSC-exos with a hollow fiber bioreactor-based three-dimensional (3D) culture system and evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of 3D-exosomes (3D-exos) on AKI.

methodsMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated from fresh human umbilical cord and cultured in two-dimensional (2D) flasks. 2 × 10

results3D culture did not significantly change the surface markers of MSCs, as well as the morphology, size, and exosomal markers of 3D-exos when compared to those of 2D-exos. Compared with conventional 2D culture, the 3D culture system increased total exosome production up to 19.4-fold. 3D-exos were more concentrated in the harvested supernatants (15.5-fold) than 2D-exos, which led to a higher exosome collection efficiency of 3D culture system. In vivo, both 2D-exos and 3D-exos significantly alleviated cisplatin-induced murine AKI evidenced by improved renal function, attenuated pathological changes of renal tubules, reduced inflammatory factors, and repressed T cell and macrophage infiltration. Impressively, 3D-exos were more effective than 2D-exos. Moreover, 3D-exos were taken up by tubular epithelial cells (TECs) with improved efficiency, thereby exhibiting superior anti-inflammatory effect and improved viability of TECs in vitro.

conclusionsIn summary, our findings demonstrate that the hollow fiber 3D culture system provides an efficient strategy for the continuous production of MSC-exos which has enhanced therapeutic potential for cisplatin-induced AKI.
