Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cell small extracellular vesicle transfer of microRNA-223-3p to lung epithelial cells attenuates inflammation in acute lung injury in mice.

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
backgroundAcute lung injury (ALI), manifested as strong pulmonary inflammation and alveolar epithelial damage, is a life-threatening disease with high morbidity and mortality. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), secreted by multiple types of cells, are critical cellular communication mediators and can inhibit inflammation by transferring bioactive molecules, such as microRNAs (miRNAs). Thus, we hypothesized that sEVs derived from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC sEVs) could transfer miRNAs to attenuate inflammation of lung epithelial cells during ALI.
methodsC57BL/6 male mice were intratracheally administered LPS (10 mg/kg). Six hours later, the mice were randomly administered with MSC sEVs (40 µg per mouse in 150 µl of saline), which were collected by ultracentrifugation. Control group received saline administration. After 48 h, the mice were sacrificed to evaluate pulmonary microvascular permeability and inflammatory responses. In vitro, A549 cells and primary human small airway epithelial cells (SAECs) were stimulated with LPS with or without MSC sEVs treatment.
resultsIn vitro, MSC sEVs could also inhibit the inflammation induced by LPS in A549 cells and SAECs (reducing TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and MCP-1). Moreover, MSC sEV treatment improved the survival rate, alleviated pulmonary microvascular permeability, and inhibited proinflammatory responses (reducing TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and JE-1) in ALI mice. Notably, miR-223-3p was found to be served as a critical mediator in MSC sEV-induced regulatory effects through inhibition of poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) in lung epithelial cells.
conclusionsOverall, these findings suggest that MSC sEVs may offer a novel promising strategy for ALI.
