Effects of Hydrogels on Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells Paracrine Activity and Extracellular Vesicles Production.
Review in Journal of extracellular vesicles, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are a valuable source of paracrine factors, as they have a remarkable secretory capacity, and there is a sizeable knowledge base to develop industrial and clinical production protocols. Promising cell-free approaches for tissue regeneration and immunomodulation are driving research towards secretome applications, among which extracellular vesicles (EVs) are steadily gaining attention. However, the manufacturing and application of EVs is limited by insufficient yields, knowledge gaps, and low standardization. Facing these limitations, hydrogels represent a versatile three-dimensional (3D) culture platform that can incorporate extracellular matrix (ECM) components to mimic the natural stem cell environment in vitro; via these niche-mimicking properties, hydrogels can regulate MSCs' morphology, adhesion, proliferation, differentiation and secretion capacities. However, the impact of the hydrogel's architectural, biochemical and biomechanical properties on the production of EVs remains poorly understood, as the field is still in its infancy and the interdependency of culture parameters compromises the comparability of the studies. Therefore, this review summarizes and discusses the reported effects of hydrogel encapsulation and culture on the secretion of MSC-EVs. Considering the effects of cell-material interactions on the overall paracrine activity of MSCs, we identify persistent challenges from low standardization and process control, and outline future paths of research, such as the synergic use of hydrogels and bioreactors to enhance MSC-EV generation.
