Autologous and allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell-based therapies for diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in World journal of stem cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health concern, characterized by insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. Traditional treatments often fail to address underlying mechanisms, necessitating alternative therapies. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies have shown promise due to their regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. However, evidence on their efficacy and safety in type 2 DM remains limited and further evaluation is needed.
aimTo evaluate the safety, efficacy and therapeutic potential of MSC-based therapies in type 2 DM.
methodsThis systematic review analyzed studies published between 2000 and 2025, focusing on autologous and allogeneic MSC therapies in DM. Studies were identified from various databases, including clinical and preclinical trials. Outcomes related to glycemic control, insulin requirements, β-cell function, and safety were assessed.
resultsMSC-based therapies significantly improved glycemic control, reduced insulin requirements and enhanced β-cell function in both clinical and preclinical settings. Safety profiles were favorable, with minimal adverse effects observed, primarily transient and self-limiting. No fatal events were reported. Variability in treatment outcomes and the need for standardized protocols were challenges.
conclusionMSC-based therapies offer a promising alternative to conventional DM treatments, significantly improving glycemic control and safety. Further research is needed to refine protocols and confirm long-term efficacy.
