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
Insulin resistance is an essential characteristic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which can be induced by glucotoxicity and adipose chronic inflammation. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their exosomes were reported to ameliorate T2DM and its complications by their immunoregulatory and healing abilities. Exosomes derived from MSCs contain abundant molecules to mediate crosstalk between cells and mimic biological function of MSCs. But the role of exosomes derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) in insulin resistance of human adipocytes is unclear. In this study, exosomes were harvested from the conditioned medium of hUC-MSCs and added to insulin-resistant adipocytes. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake was measured by glucose oxidase/peroxidase assay. The signal pathway involved in exosome-treated adipocytes was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The biological characteristics and function were compared between hUC-MSCs and human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs). The results showed that hAMSCs had better adipogenic ability than hUC-MSCs. After induction of mature adipocytes by adipogenesis of hAMSC, the model of insulin-resistant adipocytes was successfully established by TNF-α and high glucose intervention. After exosome treatment, the insulin-stimulated glucose uptake was significantly increased. In addition, the effect of exosomes could be stabilized for at least 48 h. Furthermore, the level of leptin was significantly decreased, and the mRNA expression of sirtuin-1 and insulin receptor substrate-1 was significantly upregulated after exosome treatment. In conclusion, exosomes significantly improve insulin sensitivity in insulin-resistant human adipocytes, and the mechanism involves the regulation of adipokines.
