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

Endometrial tissue-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (eMSCs) have potential therapeutic properties partially exerted via their secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs). eMSC-EVs contain cargos with regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. Specifically, the miRNA profile of CD146High eMSC-EVs has been shown to promote anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage polarization in vitro. Herein, we aimed to characterize the lncRNA profile of CD146High and CD146Low eMSC-EVs and further assess their immunomodulatory and anabolic therapeutic function in osteoarthritis (OA). We hypothesized that the CD146High eMSC-EVs lncRNA profile is enriched with potent anti-inflammatory and pro-anabolic cartilage effects when compared to the CD146Low eMSC-EVs lncRNA profile. Human endometrial tissue was collected, and the eMSCs were magnetically sorted to yield the CD146High and CD146Low eMSC subpopulations. The eMSC-EVs were isolated via ultracentrifugation and CD63 magnetic immunoselection methods and characterized by nanosight and flow cytometry analyses. Our results showed that CD146High eMSC-EVs display an lncRNA profile with both anabolic and catabolic features, exerting a more dynamic effect on chondrocyte gene expression than CD146Low eMSC-EVs, suggesting a potential benefit of using CD146High eMSC-EVs to attenuate the negative effects of inflammation in OA. CD146High eMSC-EVs also demonstrated greater endothelial repair capacity under inflammatory stress. In conclusion, cell-free CD146High eMSC-EV has therapeutic potential through its protective anti-inflammatory effects, warranting further pre-clinical investigation.
