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

Glottic insufficiency, often caused by laryngeal nerve injury, impairs voice quality and breathing. Current treatments, such as hyaluronic acid injection, require frequent reapplication every 3-6 months. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from Wharton's Jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJMSCs) incorporated into genipin-crosslinked gelatin hydrogels (GCGHs) for promoting vocal fold fibroblast (VFFs) regeneration in vitro. WJMSCs were isolated from umbilical cords, expanded to passage 4, and used for sEV isolation via tangential flow filtration (TFF). The sEVs (585.89 ± 298.93 µg/mL) were characterized using bicinchoninic acid assay (BCA), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Western blot. Seven concentrations of sEVs were tested on VFFs to evaluate cytotoxicity and proliferation, identifying 75 µg/mL as the optimal dose. GCGHs were then combined with WJMSCs and sEVs and evaluated for physicochemical properties, degradation, biocompatibility, and immune response. The hydrogels were injectable within 20 min and degraded in approximately 42 ± 0.72 days. The optimal sEV concentration significantly enhanced VFFs proliferation (166.59% ± 28.11) and cell viability (86.16% ± 8.55,
