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 is a multifaceted biological process involving critical phases such as inflammation modulation, tissue regeneration, and angiogenesis. Traditional therapies often yield inconsistent results. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)—with their abilities for self-renewal, tissue repair, angiogenesis, and immunomodulation—represent a promising avenue in regenerative medicine and wound healing. However, the efficacy of MSCs is frequently compromised by the hostile post-transplantation microenvironment. Recent advances in engineering strategies—including gene modification, preconditioning, biomaterial scaffolds, and hydrogels—have significantly enhanced the therapeutic potential of MSCs by improving their survival, proliferation, and migration. Moreover, the combined application of multiple engineering approaches further optimizes wound healing outcomes by accelerating tissue repair and reducing scar formation. In this review, we systematically summarize the mechanisms underlying MSC-mediated wound healing, their clinical applications, and the impact of various engineering strategies, with the aim of facilitating the clinical translation of engineered MSCs and providing more effective therapeutic solutions.
