The Effects of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes on the Attenuation of Dry Eye Disease in Sjögren Syndrome Animal Model.
Article in Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, 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
backgroundSjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease delineated by excessive lymphocyte infiltration to the lacrimal or salivary glands, leading to dry eye and dry mouth. Exosomes secreted from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are known to have anti-inflammatory and tissue regeneration abilities. This study endeavored to demonstrate the effect of MSC-derived exosomes on the clinical parameter of dry eyes and associated pathology in SS mouse model.
methodsExosomes obtained from bone marrow-derived human MSC (Catholic MASTER Cells) were injected into the subconjunctival sac of 17 weeks-old NOD/LtJ female mice once and sacrificed after 7 days, or administered topically as an eyedrop every day for 14 days, then sacrificed. Clinical dry eye parameters, including tear volume and corneal staining scores, density of goblet cells in the conjunctiva, pro-inflammatory cytokine expressions of cornea and conjunctiva, and the lacrimal glands were evaluated. Infiltration of inflammatory foci, and expression of B and T cells in the lacrimal glands were examined.
resultsTear volume, corneal stain scores and density of goblet cells in conjunctiva were improved in the exosome-treated groups compared to the control group. Pro-inflammatory cytokine expressions were also reduced in the cornea and conjunctiva of the exosome-treated group. In the lacrimal glands of the exosome-treated mice, inflammatory foci infiltration and B cell marker expressions were significantly decreased.
conclusionsThus, this study demonstrated the amelioration of dry eyes with the administration of exosomes in SS animal model, suggesting promising therapeutic potential of MSC-derived exosomes in SS dry eyes.
