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

Wound healing presents a significant challenge in healthcare, imposing substantial physiological and economic burdens. While traditional treatments and stem cell therapies have shown benefits, milk-derived exosomes (MDEs) offer distinct advantages as a cell-free therapeutic approach. MDEs, isolated from mammalian milk, are characterized by their biocompatibility, ease of acquisition, and high yield, making them a promising tool for enhancing wound repair. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the composition, sources, and extraction methods of MDEs, with a focus on their therapeutic role in both acute and diabetic chronic wounds. MDEs facilitate wound healing through the delivery of bioactive molecules, modulating key processes such as inflammation, angiogenesis, and collagen synthesis. Their ability to regulate complex wound-healing pathways underscores their potential for widespread clinical application. This review highlights the importance of MDEs in advancing wound management and proposes strategies to optimize their use in regenerative medicine.
