Progress in research on mesenchymal stem cells and their extracellular vesicles for treating fibrosis in systemic sclerosis.
Review in Clinical and experimental medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) refers to an autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysfunction, vascular endothelial damage, and multi-organ fibrosis. Thus far, this disease is incurable, and its high mortality rate is significantly correlated with fibrotic events. Fibrosis has been confirmed as a difficult clinical treatment area that should be urgently treated in clinical medicine. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exhibit immunomodulatory, pro-angiogenic, and anti-fibrotic functions. MSCs-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have aroused rising interest as a cellular component that retains the functions of MSCs while circumventing the possible adverse effects of MSCs. Moreover, EVs have great potential in treating SSc. In this study, the current research progress on MSCs and their EVs for treating fibrosis in SSc was reviewed, with an aim to provide some reference for future MSCs and their EVs in treating SSc.
