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
backgroundSpinal cord injury (SCI) due to lack of restoration of damaged neuronal cells is associated with sensorimotor impairment. This study was focused on using the human placental mesenchymal stem cells- exosome (HPMSCs- Exosomes) in an animal model of severe SCI under myelogram procedure. METHODS AND
resultsIntrathecal injection of exosomes was performed in the acute phase of SCI in female rats. The improved functional recovery of the animals was followed for 6 weeks in control (saline, n = 6) and HPMSCs- EXO (HPMSCs-Exosomes, n = 6) groups. Pathological changes and glial scar size were evaluated. The Immunohistochemistry (IHC) of GFAP and NF200 factors as well as the apoptosis assay was investigated in the tissue samples from the injury site. The results demonstrated that HPMSCs-exosomes can improve motor function by attenuating apoptosis of neurons at the injury site, decreasing GFAP expression and increasing NF200 in the HPMSCs-EXO group. Also, HPMSCs-exosomes by preventing the formation of cavities causes preservation of tissue in SCI rats.
conclusionsThese findings demonstrate the effectiveness of HPMSC-Exosomes as a therapeutic method to improve functional recovery, reduce pathological changes associated with injury, and prevent chronicity after SCI. The neuroprotective and anti-apoptotic potential of HPMSCs- Exosomes may be a promising therapeutic approach for SCI. Another result was the importance of intrathecal injection of exosomes in the acute phase, which accelerated the healing process. Furthermore, the myelogram can be a feasible and suitable method to confirm the accuracy of intrathecal injection and examine the subarachnoid space in the laboratory animals.
