The existing evidence for the use of extracellular vesicles in the treatment of osteoporosis: a review.
Review in International journal of surgery (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Osteoporosis is a systemic metabolic bone disease characterized by decreased bone mass, microstructural deterioration, and increased fracture risk. The crucial role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the occurrence and development of osteoporosis has garnered attention, with vesicle-based treatments showing significant promise. Compared to conventional osteoporosis medications, EVs possess characteristics of naturalness, selectivity, and adaptability, and more importantly, they have negligible side effects. Hence, this review discusses the applications of natural and engineered EVs in osteoporosis are comprehensively outlined. Unfortunately, the absence of consensus on the extraction, purification, characterization, and storage of EVs has resulted in a lack of clinical evidence supporting their application in patients with osteoporosis. Although significant progress is still needed before the clinical use of EVs can be achieved, their substantial potential remains undeniable. Moreover, considering the complexity of bone metabolism in osteoporosis and the heterogeneity of EVs, further investigation into the functional subpopulations of different exosomes will facilitate their application.
