Potential and challenges of utilizing exosomes in osteoarthritis therapy (Review).
Review in International journal of molecular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Exosomes are integral to the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA) due to their roles in mediating intercellular communication and regulating inflammatory processes. Exosomes are integral to the transport of bioactive molecules, such as proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, which can influence chondrocyte behavior and joint homeostasis. Given their properties of regeneration and ability to target damaged tissues, exosomes represent a promising therapeutic avenue for OA treatment. Exosomes have potential in promoting cartilage repair, reducing inflammation and improving overall joint function. However, several challenges remain, including the need for standardized isolation and characterization methods, variability in exosomal content, and regulatory hurdles. The present review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of exosome mechanisms in OA and their therapeutic potential, while also addressing the ongoing challenges faced in translating these findings into clinical practice. By consolidating existing research, the present review aims to pave the way for future studies aimed at optimizing exosome‑based therapies for effective OA management.
