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

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and the extracellular matrix (ECM) are essential in maintaining bone and joint health by facilitating intercellular communication, regulating tissue processes and providing structural support. EVs with a large surface area carry diverse biomolecules to steer the function of cells in their surroundings. To understand how EVs localize to specific sites, we here review the available knowledge on EV surface biomolecules and their interactions with ECM components that are crucial for regulating bone remodeling, cartilage maintenance, and immune responses, playing roles in both tissue homeostasis and pathological conditions, such as arthritis and osteoporosis. More importantly, using analyses of animal experimental data, we illustrate the effect of ECM-based biomaterials (e.g. hydrogels, decellularized matrices, and ECM-mimetic scaffolds) as carriers for EVs toward effective EV delivery in regenerative and immunomodulatory therapies in bone and joint tissue. These biomaterials enable sustained release and targeted delivery of EVs, promoting bone and cartilage regeneration. The insights of this review can be utilized to advance the development of cutting-edge therapies for skeletal tissue regeneration and disease management.
