Exosomes obtained from adipose mesenchymal stem cells prevent ischemia-reperfusion injury after torsion-detorsion in rat testes.

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
purposeTo investigate the effect of exosomes obtained from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) on testicular ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.
methodsAD-MSCs from rat adipose tissue were cultured. Characterization of cells was evaluated with CD44, CD90, CD34 and CD45 antibodies. Exosomes from AD-MSCs were obtained with the miRCURY exosome isolation kit. 21 rats were divided into 3 groups. The I/R model was created as 720° torsion for 4 h and reperfusion for 4 h. In the Sham group (SG), only scrotal incision was made. 100 µl of medium in the torsion-control group (T-CG) and 100 µl of exosome in the treatment group (TG) were injected into the testicular parenchyma after detorsion. Johnsen scores of testicles were determined. Apoptosis was evaluated by the TUNEL method.
resultsIt was observed that the seminiferous tubule structures were partially disrupted in T-CG, but normal in SG and TG. Johnsen scores in SG, T-CG, and TG were 8.64 ± 0.39, 7.71 ± 0.37, and 8.57 ± 0.39, respectively. Apoptotic cell distribution was 11.28 ± 5.25%, 60.58% ± 1.68% and 17.71 ± 8.34% in SG, T-CG and TG, respectively. In both parameters, the difference between SG and TG was insignificant (p > 0.05), the difference between T-CG/TG and SG/T-CG was significant (p < 0.05).
conclusionExosomes obtained from AD-MSCs are effective in preventing testicular I/R injury. This effect appears to occur because of suppression of apoptotic activity.
