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
Compelling evidence suggests that mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) promote regeneration in animal models of liver injury by delivering signaling molecules. However, their target cells and uptake mechanism remain elusive. In this study, MSC-EVs were intravenously administered in a mouse model of liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Our results revealed that MSC-EVs exhibit enhanced liver targeting in IRI mice, and injured hepatocytes display a greater capacity for MSC-EV uptake. We found that phosphatidylserine (PS) displayed on the exterior of injured hepatocytes promotes MSC-EV internalization, possibly by binding to MFGE8, a protein expressed on the MSC-EV membrane. Furthermore, the therapeutic effect of MSC-EVs on liver IRI is highly dependent on this PS-mediated uptake pathway. Our findings provide evidence that MSC-EVs preferentially target injured hepatocytes, relying on a PS-dependent uptake route to exert hepatoprotective effects, which are critical for the future design of EV-based therapeutic strategies for liver IRI.
