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

Stem cell-based therapies have been foreshowed as a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of several diseases. However, in the cancer context, results obtained from clinical studies were found to be quite limited. Deeply implicated in inflammatory cues, Mesenchymal, Neural, and Embryonic Stem Cells have mainly been used in clinical trials as a vehicle to deliver and stimulate signals in tumors niche. Although these stem cells have shown some therapeutical promises, they still face several challenges, including their isolation, immunosuppression potential, and tumorigenicity. In addition, regulatory and ethical concerns limit their use in several countries. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have emerged as a gold standard adult stem cell medicine tool due to their distinctive characteristics, such as self-renewal and potency to differentiate into numerous cell types with lower ethical restrictions. Secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs), secretomes, and exosomes play a crucial role in mediating cell-to-cell communication to maintain physiological homeostasis and influence pathogenesis. Due to their low immunogenicity, biodegradability, low toxicity, and ability to transfer bioactive cargoes across biological barriers, EVs and exosomes were considered an alternative to stem cell therapy through their immunological features. MSCs-derived EVs, exosomes, and secretomes showed regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulation properties while treating human diseases. In this review, we provide an overview of the paradigm of MSCs derived exosomes, secretome, and EVs cell-free-based therapies, we will focus on MSCs-derived components in anti-cancer treatment with decreased risk of immunogenicity and toxicity. Astute exploration of MSCs may lead to a new opportunity for efficient therapy for patients with cancer.
