Improvement in the clinical manifestations of interstitial lung disease following treatment with placental mesenchymal stromal cell extracellular vesicles in a patient with systemic sclerosis: A case report.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a severe systemic sclerosis (SSc) complication with no current approved or golden standard treatment. This report aims to investigate the effectiveness of treatment with placental mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) extracellular vesicles (EVs) in a patient with ILD due to SSc. Case presentation: The patient was a 55-year-old woman with a ten years history of SSc complicated by severe ILD. Over time, her lung disease progressed to interstitial fibrosis despite being treated with mycophenolate mofetil and monthly pulses of cyclophosphamide. Thus, she was treated with eight doses of placenta MSC-EVs. Four weeks after the third dose (Day 31 after the first dose), she reported marked improvement in her clinical symptoms, such as dyspnea and cough. Also, chest computed tomography (CT) scans demonstrated a significant reduction in ground glass consolidations and fibrotic changes. The patient was subsequently followed for twelve months, with findings showing significant improvement in exercise tolerance and reduced supplemental oxygen need. Conclusion: In this single case, placental MSC-EVs were seen to provide a potentially efficient treatment for SSc-related ILD; however, further investigation and clinical trials are necessary.
