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

Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and their small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) hold significant potential for regenerative medicine due to their tissue repair capabilities. The microRNA (miRNA) content in sEVs varies depending on ASC status; however, the effects of aging and cell passage on miRNA profiles remain unclear. In this study, we examined the effects of donor age and cell expansion on ASC characteristics and transcriptome using ASCs obtained from three young and three old donors. Cell expansion significantly impaired stem cell properties, notably reducing proliferation and differentiation capacities. In contrast, donor age had minimal effects on ASCs. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) revealed differences in gene expression related to stemness, phagocytosis, and metabolic processes influenced by cell expansion. To investigate miRNA variability, we performed small RNA-seq on sEVs collected from ASCs of all six donors. The miRNA profiles were influenced by donor age and cell passage. Interestingly, functional enrichment analysis indicated that advanced donor age and increased cell passage may enhance the production of miRNAs associated with organ development through various pathways. These findings suggest that donor age and cell expansion differentially influence ASC characteristics and sEV miRNA content, highlighting the need for disease-specific conditioning of ASCs to optimize the therapeutic effects of sEVs in clinical applications.
