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

Human stem-cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are currently being investigated for cell-free therapy in regenerative medicine applications, but the lack of noninvasive imaging methods to track EV homing and uptake in injured tissues has limited the refinement and optimization of the approach. Here, we developed a new labelling strategy to prepare magnetic EVs (magneto-EVs) allowing sensitive yet specific MRI tracking of systemically injected therapeutic EVs. This new labelling strategy relies on the use of 'sticky' magnetic particles, namely superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles coated with polyhistidine tags, to efficiently separate magneto-EVs from unencapsulated SPIO particles. Using this method, we prepared pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived magneto-EVs and subsequently used MRI to track their homing in different animal models of kidney injury and myocardial ischemia. Our results showed that iPSC-derived EVs preferentially accumulated in the injury sites and conferred substantial protection. Our study paves a new pathway for preparing highly purified magnetic EVs and tracking them using MRI towards optimized, systemically administered EV-based cell-free therapies.
