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

Cartilage regeneration relies on adequate and continuous bioenergy supply to facilitate cellular differentiation and extracellular matrix synthesis. Chondrocytes frequently undergo energy stress under pathological conditions, characterized by disrupted cellular metabolism and reduced adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels. However, there has limited progress in modulating energy metabolism for cartilage regeneration thus far. Here, we developed bioenergetic-active exosomes (Suc-EXO) to promote cartilage regeneration and homeostasis maintenance. Suc-EXO exhibited a 5.42-fold increase in ATP content, enabling the manipulation of cellular energy metabolism by fueling the TCA cycle. With continuous energy supply, Suc-EXO promoted BMSC chondrogenic differentiation via the P2X7-mediated PI3K-AKT pathway. Moreover, Suc-EXO improved chondrocyte anabolism and mitochondrial homeostasis via the P2X7-mediated SIRT3 pathway. In a rabbit cartilage defect model, the Suc-EXO-encapsulated hydrogel notably promoted cartilage regeneration and maintained neocartilage homeostasis, leading to 2.26 and 1.53 times increase in Col2 and ACAN abundance, respectively. These findings make a remarkable breakthrough in modulating energy metabolism for cartilage regeneration, offering immense potential for clinical translation.
