Human Adipose-Stem-Cell-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles Modulate Behavior and Glial Cells in Young and Aged Mice Following TBI.
Article in Cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of long-term neurological impairment, with aging amplifying vulnerability and worsening recovery. Older individuals face greater cognitive and motor deficits post-TBI and respond less effectively to treatments, as both aging and TBI independently elevate neuroinflammation and cognitive decline. This study evaluated the therapeutic effects of human adipose-derived stem cell small extracellular vesicles (hASC-sEVs) on neurological recovery and neuroinflammation in a mouse model of TBI. Male C57BL/6 mice (3, 15, and 20 months old) underwent controlled cortical impact (CCI) and received intranasal hASC-sEVs 48 h post-injury; control groups received PBS. A dose-response study at 7 days post injury (dpi) identified 20 µg as the optimal therapeutic dose, improving motor function, reducing neuroinflammation, and enhancing neurogenesis. This was followed by a 30-dpi study assessing cognitive function, neuroinflammation, neurogenesis, and proteomic changes in microglia and astrocytes via mass spectrometry. hASC-sEV treatment significantly improved behavioral outcomes and reduced neuroinflammatory markers (GFAP, IBA-1, and MHC-II), with reduced efficacy observed in older mice. Proteomics revealed that hASC-sEVs reduce inflammatory proteins (TNF-α, IL-1β, IFNG, CCL2) and modulated mitochondrial dysfunction and reactive oxygen species. These results highlight hASC-sEVs as a promising cell-free therapy for improving TBI outcomes, especially in aging populations.
