Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Promote Recovery of The Facial Nerve Injury through Regulating Macrophage M1 and M2 Polarization by Targeting the P38 MAPK/NF-Κb Pathway.
Article in Aging and disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 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
Facial nerve (FN) injury seriously affects human social viability and causes a heavy economic and social burden. Although mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) promise therapeutic benefits for injury repair, there has been no evaluation of the impact of MSC-Exos administration on FN repair. Herein, we explore the function of MSC-Exos in the immunomodulation of macrophages and their effects in repairing FN injury. An ultracentrifugation technique was used to separate exosomes from the MSC supernatant. Administrating MSC-Exos to SD rats via local injection after FN injury promoted axon regeneration and myelination and alleviated local and systemic inflammation. MSC-Exos facilitated M2 polarization and reduced the M1-M2 polarization ratio. miRNA sequencing of MSC-Exos and previous literature showed that the MAPK/NF-κb pathway was a downstream target of macrophage polarization. We confirmed this hypothesis both in vivo and in vitro. Our findings show that MSC-Exos are a potential candidate for treating FN injury because they may have superior benefits for FN injury recovery and can decrease inflammation by controlling the heterogeneity of macrophages, which is regulated by the p38 MAPK/NF-κb pathway.
