Exosome therapy for flap and skin graft survival: A systematic review and meta-analysis of preclinical evidence.
Review in JPRAS open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Flap necrosis and graft failure remain significant sources of morbidity in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, yet no cell-free biological adjunct has been established to improve tissue survival after transfer. Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles capable of simultaneously modulating angiogenesis, inflammation, apoptosis, and oxidative stress, and have been investigated as candidate regenerative adjuncts in plastic surgery. This PROSPERO-registered systematic review and meta-analysis (CRD420251146650), conducted per PRISMA 2020, searched PubMed, OVID, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar through September 2025 and included 24 animal studies (19 flap; 5 skin graft). Flap and graft studies were analysed as separate populations. Random-effects meta-analysis suggested increased flap survival (
