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
backgroundDiabetic wounds are one of the most common and serious complications of diabetes mellitus, characterized by the dysfunction of wound-healing-related cells in quantity and quality. Our previous studies revealed that human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) could promote diabetic wound healing by paracrine action. Interestingly, numerous studies demonstrated that exosomes derived from stem cells are the critical paracrine vehicles for stem cell therapy. However, whether exosomes derived from hAECs (hAECs-Exos) mediate the effects of hAECs on diabetic wound healing remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the biological effects of hAECs-Exos on diabetic wound healing and preliminarily elucidate the underlying mechanism.
methodshAECs-Exos were isolated by ultracentrifugation and identified by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering and flow cytometry. A series of
resultshAECs-Exos presented a cup- or sphere-shaped morphology with a mean diameter of 105.89 ± 10.36 nm, were positive for CD63 and TSG101 and could be internalized by HFBs and HUVECs. After that, hAECs-Exos not only significantly promoted the proliferation and migration of HFBs, but also facilitated the angiogenic activity of HUVECs
conclusionsOur findings demonstrated that hAECs-Exos represent a promising, novel strategy for diabetic wound healing by promoting angiogenesis and fibroblast function via activation of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway.
