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

The process of bone repair is highly regulated by a large number of bioactive factors. Thus, a "cocktail" of bioactive factors supplemented to the defect sites is desirable for bone repair. In this regard, small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from mesenchymal stem cells hold great potential in tissue repair. Nevertheless, the poor homing and retention of sEVs greatly limited their possible clinical application. In the present work, DMPE-PEG-CREKA was inserted into the membrane of sEVs released from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells to obtain CREKA functionalized sEVs (CREKA-sEVs), which could target fibrin to accumulate and retain in bone defects. Our results showed that CREKA-sEVs, like sEVs, promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, the angiogenic property of HUVECs, and modulated the polarization of macrophages in vitro. Furthermore, due to the improved fibrin-binding and retention capacity of CREKA-sEVs, they enhanced the bone repair substantially in the rat femoral defect model. This study provided a new strategy to improve the therapeutic efficiency of sEVs and showed that CREKA-sEVs had great application value in bone tissue repair.
