Cell-Free Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Human Bone Marrow Endothelial Progenitor Cells as Potential Therapeutics for Microvascular Endothelium Restoration in ALS.
Article in Neuromolecular medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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
Repairing the damaged blood-CNS-barrier in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is necessary to prevent entry of detrimental blood-borne factors contributing to motor neuron dysfunction. Recently, we showed benefits of human bone marrow endothelial progenitor cell (hBM-EPC) transplantation into symptomatic ALS mice on barrier restoration by replacing damaged endothelial cells (ECs). Additionally, transplanted cells may endogenously repair ECs by secreting angiogenic factors as our subsequent in vitro study demonstrated. Based on these study results, hBM-EPCs may secrete extracellular vesicles, which may contain and transfer diverse vesicular biomolecules towards maintenance of EC functionality. The study aimed to characterize extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from hBM-EPCs as potential cell-free therapeutics for endothelium repair in ALS. EVs were isolated from hBM-EPC media at different culture times and vesicle properties were evaluated. The protective effects of EVs on mouse brain endothelial cells (mBECs) exposed to ALS mouse plasma were investigated. Uptake and blockage of EVs from GFP-transfected hBM-EPCs in ECs were determined in vitro. Results showed that EVs isolated from hBM-EPCs as nanosized vesicles significantly reduced mBEC damage from the pathological environment and these EVs were taken up by cells. Blockage of β1 integrin on EVs prevented internalization of vesicles in mBECs. Together, these results provide evidence for potential of hBM-EPC-derived EVs as novel cell-free therapeutics for repair of endothelium in ALS. Although determining translational potential of hBM-EPC-derived EVs will require evaluation in vivo, this in vitro study represents a step towards an extracellular vesicle-based approach for repair of the damaged microvascular endothelium in ALS.
