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

Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (SC-EVs) are one huge promise in skin regenerative medicine, similar in advantages to stem cells with low immunerejection and tumor formations. These microvesicles are laden with microRNAs, which assist in wound healing via angiogenesis and immune modulation. However, quick degradation and poor cellular uptake limit their regenerative capacity. Thanks to their adjustable characteristics, hydrogels can act as vehicles for transporting and sustainably releasing miRNA-SC-EVs at injury sites. Therefore, a systematic literature review was conducted on miRNA-enriched SC-EVs incorporated into hydrogels in animal skin regeneration models published from 2010 to 2024 (PROSPERO ID: CRD42024588072). Out of the 89 records, 12 met the criteria. Diabetic wounds are characterized by chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and defective macrophage polarization, resulting in less satisfactory regeneration. The hydrogels tackled these issues by shifting macrophages from a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to a healing M2 phenotype, promoting collagen production, enhancing fibroblast movement, and boosting angiogenesis. Burn injuries frequently lead to slow recovery due to hypertrophic scarring, extended inflammation, and infection. Hyaluronic acid (HA)-derived hydrogels, infused with miR-21-5p and surface-treated with polydopamine and cationic antimicrobial peptides, promoted wound healing by lowering scarring and demonstrating anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and pro-angiogenic characteristics. The cell adhesion of these hydrogels can be enhanced by adding MOFs, chitosan, and extracellular matrix elements. The application of stimulus-responsive or stage-specific hydrogels is another mode of targeted healing. Further research and clinical trials will enhance the wound-healing efficiency of hybrid hydrogels.
