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) have emerged as promising vehicles for drug delivery and disease therapy owing to their intrinsic biocompatibility and capacity to transfer functional biomolecules. However, limitations in current storage technologies, including structural degradation and bioactivity loss during long-term freezing, and the incompatibility of conventional cryoprotectants such as DMSO and glycerol with intravenous administration, pose major barriers to clinical translation. Herein, we developed DDAS, a biomimetic cryoprotectant formulation, rationally designed through generative artificial intelligence (GAI)-assisted prioritization of physiologically relevant candidates from the Human Metabolome Database. DDAS comprises dextran, albumin, and sialic acid, which were selected for their synergistic stabilization and inherent biocompatibility. Compared with standard preservation media, DDAS markedly improved EVs stability during prolonged cryopreservation and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, effectively preserving vesicle morphology, particle concentration, and cargo protein functionality while reducing aggregation and membrane damage. Notably, DDAS exhibited negligible cytotoxicity and excellent biocompatibility, enabling direct intravenous administration without re-isolation or washing. Importantly, stem cell-derived EVs preserved in DDAS fully retained their therapeutic activity in vivo, significantly attenuating inflammation and accelerating wound repair upon systemic administration. Together, this study develops and validates DDAS, a practical, clinically feasible biomimetic cryoprotectant assisted by GAI. DDAS enables the long‑term preservation of EVs with intact functionality and significantly enhances the therapeutic efficacy of stem cell EVs in wound healing, ultimately unlocking their full clinical potential.
