Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles ameliorate renal interstitial fibrosis via the miR-13474/ADAM17 axis.

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
Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF) is a prevalent consequence of chronic renal diseases, characterized by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17), a transmembrane metalloproteinase, plays a central role in driving renal fibrosis progression by activating Notch 1 protein and the downstream TGF-β signaling pathway. Our study investigated potential therapeutic interventions for renal fibrosis, focusing on human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (hucMSC-EVs). We found that hucMSC-EVs inhibit ADAM17, thereby impeding renal fibrosis progression. Analysis of hucMSC-EVs miRNA profiles revealed significant enrichment of miR-13474, which effectively targeted and inhibited ADAM17 mRNA expression, subsequently suppressing Notch1 activation, TGF-β signaling, and collagen deposition. Overexpression of miR-13474 enhanced hucMSC-EVs' inhibitory effect on renal fibrosis, while its downregulation abolished this protective effect. Our findings highlight the efficacy of hucMSC-EVs overexpressing miR-13474 in mitigating renal fibrosis via ADAM17 targeting. These insights offer potential therapeutic strategies for managing renal fibrosis.
