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

backgroundSmall extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are nanoscale, membrane-bound vesicles mediating intercellular communication by transferring bioactive molecules, including nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and metabolites. Electrical stimulation (ES) has emerged as a bioengineering strategy for modulating cellular electrophysiology, calcium signaling, and vesicle secretion. Although ES is increasingly recognized as a regulator of sEV biology, its effects on sEV biogenesis, cargo composition, and regenerative function have not been systematically defined. Therefore, this review aims to synthesize current evidence to clarify the influence of ES on sEV biogenesis, release, cargo remodeling, and functional outcomes in regenerative contexts.

methodsRelevant published literature was reviewed to summarize current evidence on the effects of electrical stimulation on sEV biogenesis, secretion, cargo composition, and regenerative function. Articles were selected based on their relevance to ES-mediated sEV regulation, electrically responsive tissues, and regenerative medicine applications.

resultsThe reviewed studies indicate that ES can regulate sEV secretion and alter molecular cargo profiles in a context-dependent manner. Evidence from diverse electroresponsive tissue-related systems suggests that ES-modulated sEVs may contribute to regenerative and tissue-protective responses.

conclusionsThis review summarizes current evidence on ES-mediated sEV modulation across electroresponsive tissues. Given remaining challenges in standardization and in vivo mechanistic validation, we propose future directions including advanced EV tracking and cell-type-specific analyses. Overall, ES-enabled sEV modulation represents a promising strategy for next-generation regenerative therapies.
