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

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases due to their pluripotent differentiation potential and immunomodulatory function. Macrophage (Mφ) polarization also acts an essential and central role in regulating inflammation, basically the dynamic balance of pro-inflammatory M1-like (M1φ) and anti-inflammatory M2-like macrophages (M2φ), affecting the occurrence and progression of inflammatory diseases. Since a pivotal molecular crosstalk between MSCs and Mφ has been elucidated using in vitro and in vivo preclinical studies, we presume that the mesenchymal stem cell/macrophages axis (MSC/Mφ axis) acts an important role in pathophysiological mechanisms of inflammatory diseases and should be the potential therapeutic target. However, the crucial effects of EVs as intercellular communicators and therapeutic agents in the MSC/Mφ axis remains explorable. Therefore, this review elaborated on the mechanisms of EVs mediating the MSC/Mφ axis regulating inflammation in-depth, hoping to provide more references for related research in the future.
