The Effect of Stem Cell Secretome on the Improvement of Diabetic Wound Recovery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of In Vivo Studies.
Review in Current therapeutic research, clinical and experimental, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Diabetic wounds, characterized by their chronic nature, represent a critical challenge for patients with diabetes, often leading to amputation and mortality. Although stem cells show great promise, their use is limited by challenges related to stability and tumorigenicity. The secretome of stem cells, comprising molecules released by these cells, offers a potential alternative to the challenges associated with stem cell therapy and provides a promising solution for diabetic wound healing. Objective: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant preclinical studies to evaluate the effectiveness of stem cell secretomes in treating diabetic wounds. Methods: The protocol registration for this systematic review and meta-analysis was recorded in the PROSPERO database (CRD42023473726). Databases were searched from their inception until November 20, 2023. The quality assessment of the included studies was performed utilizing the CAMARADES 10-item Quality Checklist. Statistical analyses were conducted using a random-effects model to calculate standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), with heterogeneity assessed via the Results: Twenty studies were included, comprising 382 animal subjects, and five of which were eligible for quantitative evaluation in a meta-analysis. The stem cell secretome significantly improved the wound closure rate (SMD = 9.63; 95% CI = 2.01 -17.25; Conclusion: This review suggests that stem cell secretomes have potential as a novel therapeutic strategy for diabetic wound healing, enhancing wound closure rates and reducing inflammation. These findings support the use of stem cell secretomes as a safer and more stable alternative to direct stem cell therapy, but further clinical studies are needed to confirm these results in human patients.
