Effects of purified exosome product on rotator cuff tendon-bone healing in vitro and in vivo.
Article in Biomaterials, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 44 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Exosomes have multiple therapeutic targets, but the effects on healing rotator cuff tear (RCT) remain unclear. As a circulating exosome, purified exosome product (PEP) has the potential to lead to biomechanical improvement in RCT. Here, we have established a simple and efficient approach that identifies the function and underlying mechanisms of PEP on cell-cell interaction using a co-culture model in vitro. In the in vivo trial, adult female Sprague-Dawley rats underwent unilateral surgery to transect and repair the supraspinatus tendon to its insertion site with or without PEP. PEP promoted the migration and confluence of osteoblast cells and tenocytes, especially during direct cell-cell contact. Expression of potential genes for RCT in vitro and in vivo models were consistent with biomechanical tests and semiquantitative histologic scores, indicating accelerated strength and healing of the RC in response to PEP. Our observations suggest that circulating exosomes provide an effective option to improve the healing speed of RCT after surgical repair. The regeneration of enthesis following PEP treatment appears to be related to a mutually reinforcing relationship between direct cell-cell contact and PEP activity, suggesting a dual approach to the healing process.
