The application potential of iMSCs and iMSC-EVs in diseases.
Review in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The immune system, functioning as the body's "defense army", plays a role in surveillance, defense. Any disruptions in immune system can lead to the development of immune-related diseases. Extensive researches have demonstrated the crucial immunoregulatory role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in these diseases. Of particular interest is the ability to induce somatic cells under specific conditions, generating a new cell type with stem cell characteristics known as induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC). The differentiation of iPSCs into MSCs, specifically induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells (iMSCs), hold promise as a potential solution to the challenges of MSCs, potentially serving as an alternative to traditional drug therapies. Moreover, the products of iMSCs, termed induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (iMSC-EVs), may exhibit functions similar to iMSCs. With the biological advantages of EVs, they have become the focus of "cell-free therapy". Here, we provided a comprehensive summary of the biological impact of iMSCs on immune cells, explored the applications of iMSCs and iMSC-EVs in diseases, and briefly discussed the fundamental characteristics of EVs. Finally, we overviewed the current advantages and challenges associated with iMSCs and iMSC-EVs. It is our hope that this review related to iMSCs and iMSC-EVs will contribute to the development of new approaches for the treatment of diseases.
