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

backgroundFemale reproductive disorders, such as premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), intrauterine adhesion (IUA) or thin endometrium, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), are the main factors affecting fertility. Mesenchymal stem cells derived-extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have gained traction as a new potential treatment and were widely studied in these diseases. However, their impact is still not fully clear.

methodsA systematic search of PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, the Chinese National Knowledge of Infrastructure, and WanFang online databases was performed up to September 27

results28 studies (POI, N = 15; IUA, N = 13) were included. For POI, MSC-EVs improved AMH at 2 weeks (SMD 3.40, 95% CI 2.02 to 4.77) and 4 weeks (SMD 5.39, 95% CI 3.43 to 7.36) compared with placebo, and no difference was found when compared with MSCs in AMH (SMD -2.03, 95% CI -4.25 to 0.18). For IUA, MSC-EVs treatment could increase the endometrial thickness at 2 weeks (WMD 132.36, 95% CI 118.99 to 145.74), but no improvement was found at 4 weeks (WMD 166.18, 95% CI -21.44 to 353.79). The combination of MSC-EVs with hyaluronic acid or collagen had a better effect on the endometrial thickness (WMD 105.31, 95% CI 85.49 to 125.13) and glands (WMD 8.74, 95% CI 1.34 to 16.15) than MSC-EVs alone. The medium dose of EVs may allow for great benefits in both POI and IUA.

conclusionsMSC-EVs treatment could improve the functional and structural outcomes in female reproductive disorders. The combination of MSC-EVs with HA or collagen may enhance the effect. These findings can accelerate the translation of MSC-EVs treatment to human clinical trials.
