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

BACKGROUND AND

aimsEpigenetic information delivered by intestinal exosomes can be useful for diagnosing intestinal diseases, such as ulcerative colitis, but the therapeutic effects of intestinal exosomes have not been fully exploited. We herein developed an autologous exosome therapy that could treat intestinal disease without any risk of inducing a systemic immunological reaction.

methodsIntestinal exosomes were isolated and purified from faeces by our newly developed multi-step sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation method. Lipopolysaccharide [LPS]-activated macrophages were employed to test the in vitro anti-inflammatory ability of intestinal exosomes. To evaluate the in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of our system, we gavaged dextran sulphate sodium [DSS]-induced colitic mice with their own healing phase intestinal exosomes.

resultsMouse intestinal exosomes are round extracellular vesicles with a hydrodynamic diameter of ~140 [±20] nm and a surface charge of ~-12 [±3] mV. Among the exosomes obtained at four different stages of DSS-induced ulcerative colitis [1, before treatment; 2, DSS-treated; 3, healing phase; and 4, back to normal], the healing phase exosomes showed the best in vitro anti-inflammatory effects and promotion of wound healing. Moreover, oral co-administration of autologous healing phase exosomes with DSS was found to significantly reduce the risk of a second round of DSS-induced ulcerative colitis in mice.

conclusionsIntestinal exosomes obtained during the healing phase that follows induced intestinal inflammation could strongly promote wound healing in the host. Oral administration of autologous exosomes from the healing phase could be a safe and effective approach for treating the ulcerative colitis of a given patient in the context of personalised medicine.
