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

Platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) are rich in growth factors and have significant potential for facilitating tissue repair and regeneration. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of PEVs in treating diabetic wounds. To assess the efficacy and safety of PEVs in treating diabetic wounds, we conducted a systematic review of several databases and performed a meta-analysis using a random effects model. Nine studies (n = 128 animals) meeting the inclusion criteria for this review were identified. The pooled analysis revealed that compared to the control group, wounds treated with PEVs had a higher healing rate (SMD = 4.43, 95% CI = 2.85-6.01, P < 0.00001). In subgroup analysis, PEVs combined with hydrogel showed better efficacy than PEVs alone (SMD = 7.96, 95% CI = 5.05-10.87, P < 0.00001). Additionally, the PEVs treatment group outperformed the control group in other outcomes, such as vessel density and number, re-epithelialization rate, and collagen deposition. PEVs have the potential to promote angiogenesis at diabetic wound sites and alleviate inflammatory responses, ultimately aiding in wound healing, especially when combined with hydrogels or other medications.
