Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicle Therapy in Ischemic Brain Injuries.
Review in Journal of stroke, 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
Ischemic brain injury (IBI), including stroke and cardiac arrest-induced global cerebral injury, presents a significant clinical challenge due to its high morbidity and incidence of neurological deficits. Currently, effective strategies for neurological repair remain limited. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a diverse group of cell-derived, lipid-bound nanoparticles that encapsulate RNAs, proteins, lipids, metabolites, growth factors, and cytokines. EVs play an essential role in intercellular communication and are involved in various physiological and pathological processes. Stem cell-derived EVs (SC-EVs) have been studied in the context of IBI, demonstrating regenerative and angiogenic effects that resemble those of their parent stem cells, holding promise for improved cell-free treatment of IBI. This review provides comprehensive insights into the therapeutic application of SC-EVs in IBI, including an SC-EV source comparison with their distinct advantages and limitations, and dissects the multifaceted mechanisms of SC-EVs including immunomodulation, neurogenesis, mitochondrial transfer, and myelin repair. Furthermore, it highlights recent advances in engineering SC-EV cargo and surfaces for enhanced targeting and efficacy in IBI treatment. It also emphasizes strategies to improve the reproducibility of in vivo studies through standardized protocols and bridges the gap between preclinical findings and early clinical trials. Finally, the review critically addresses ethical challenges and equity considerations, providing a roadmap for the responsible translation of SC-EV therapies into clinical practice.
