Extracellular vesicles: innovative cell-free solutions for wound repair.
Review in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Chronic non-healing wounds are often associated with conditions such as diabetes and peripheral vascular disease, pose significant medical and socioeconomic challenges. Cell-based therapies have shown promise in promoting wound healing but have major drawbacks such as immunogenicity and tumor formation. As a result, recent research has shifted to the potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from these cells. EVs are nanosized lipid bilayer vesicles, naturally produced by all cell types, which facilitate intercellular communication and carry bioactive molecules, offering advantages such as low immunogenicity, negligible toxicity and the potential to be re-engineered. Recent evidence recognizes that during wound healing EVs are released from a wide range of cells including immune cells, skin cells, epithelial cells and platelets and they actively participate in wound repair. This review comprehensively summarizes the latest research on the function of EVs from endogenous cell types during the different phases of wound healing, thereby presenting interesting therapeutic targets. Additionally, it gives a critical overview of the current status of mesenchymal stem cell-derived EVs in wound treatment highlighting their tremendous therapeutic potential as a non-cellular of-the-shelf alternative in wound care.
