Extracellular Vesicles for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease: A Systematic Review.
Article in Journal of extracellular biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The development of novel treatments that restore brain function and improve patient outcomes for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is necessary, given the complications and lack of improvement in recently approved amyloid beta (Aβ)-targeting drugs. Cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been found to improve cognitive function through reduced inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis, restoring neuronal and blood-brain barrier function, and inhibiting Aβ and phosphorylated tau build-up in the brain. Given the recent emergence of EVs into clinical trials, it is essential to provide the field with an update on proposed mechanisms of action, gaps in knowledge for further study, and recommendations for producing EVs with high therapeutic efficacy to ensure success in subsequent clinical trials. This systematic review summarizes original research to date that reports effects of mammalian cell-derived EVs for the treatment of AD. Evidence of therapeutic benefits and reported mechanisms of action are discussed. Further, methods for engineering EVs to increase their therapeutic efficacy and produce high-quality EVs relevant to the AD field are outlined. The quality of evidence is discussed in terms of reporting guidelines from the Minimal Information for Studies of Extracellular Vesicles (MISEV). The review further discusses current preclinical AD models and provides direction to improve the quality of AD models for testing novel therapeutics.
