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

Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) pose a significant clinical challenge, often resulting in irreversible functional deficits due to limited spontaneous regeneration. While current therapeutic approaches offer partial solutions, their efficacy remains suboptimal. In recent years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as bioactive carriers capable of orchestrating complex regenerative processes without the risks associated with live-cell transplantation. Derived from sources, EVs deliver a repertoire of functional cargos that modulate immune responses, promote axonal regrowth, enhance remyelination, and stimulate angiogenesis. Furthermore, bioengineering strategies enable EVs to be loaded with therapeutic molecules, surface-modified for targeted delivery, and incorporated into stimuli-responsive scaffolds for controlled release. When integrated with biomaterials, EVs demonstrate synergistic effects that enhance spatial guidance, immune modulation, and neurovascular remodeling in preclinical models. However, significant challenges remain, including large-scale EV production, standardization of isolation methods, and meeting regulatory requirements for clinical translation. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the biological roles of native and engineered EVs in peripheral nerve regeneration, highlights advances in EV-functionalized scaffolds, and discusses translational challenges and future directions for clinical implementation.
