Stem cell-derived exosome treatment for acute spinal cord injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis based on preclinical evidence.
Synthesis in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. 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
Background: The study aims were to systematically review and analyze preclinical research on the efficacy of exosomes derived from various mesenchymal stem cell sources (MSC-exos) for the treatment of spinal cord contusion injury (SCI) in small animal models. Methods: We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar databases from their inception through February 29, 2024, to identify eligible English-language studies based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two independent investigators performed literature screening, data extraction and bias assessment. Results: A total of 235 rats were used to assess locomotor recovery at the initial assessment, and exhibited significant improvement in hind limb movement in those treated with exosomes, as indicated by a statistically significant increase in Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) scores (MD: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.14-1.38, Conclusion: MSC-exos demonstrated considerable promise in improving motor function in SCI-affected rats, with bone marrow MSC-derived exosomes having particularly notable effectiveness.
