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

Precise regulation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) in macrophages is essential for reducing inflammation and promoting diabetic wound healing. However, achieving targeted and responsive mtROS modulation in specific cell remains challenging. Herein, we report a macrophage-mitochondria hybrid membrane derived artificial extracellular vesicle platform (C@AH-EV). C@AH-EV integrates biomimetic dual-targeting membranes with an mtROS activatable prodrug. It leverages membrane protein-mediated targeting of macrophage mitochondria to offer highly selective intracellular delivery. The payload is a ROS sensitive antioxidant prodrug, which incorporates lipid tails that enhance its drug loading efficiency in vesicles. Upon mtROS-triggered cleavage of the boronate ester bond, potent antioxidants were locally released within the mitochondria to restore redox balance. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that C@AH-EVs effectively reprogram macrophages from an inflammatory toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype, thereby attenuating inflammation and accelerating diabetic wound repair. This work offers a promising direction for treating chronic inflammatory conditions.
