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

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) have garnered extensive attention as natural product-based nanomedicines and potential drug delivery vehicles. However, the specific mechanism for regulating MSC-EVs secretion and delivery remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness regulates the secretion and delivery of EVs by affecting MSCs' cargo sorting mechanically. Using multi-omics analysis, we found that a decrease in ECM stiffness impeded the sorting of vesicular transport-related proteins and autophagy-related lipids into MSC-EVs, impairing their secretion and subsequent uptake by macrophages. Hence, MSC-EVs with different secretion and uptake behaviors can be produced by changing the stiffness of culture substrates. This study provides new insights into MSC-EV biology and establishes a connection between MSC-EV behaviors and ECM from a biophysical perspective, providing a basis for the rational design of biomedical materials.
