Efficacy of Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes in Promoting Diabetic Foot Ulcer Healing: A Meta-Analysis of Preclinical Animal Studies.
Synthesis in Journal of diabetes research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThe objective of the study is to systematically evaluate the efficacy and mechanisms of action of stem cell-derived exosomes from various sources (including adipose tissue [AD-MSCs] and bone marrow [BM-MSCs]) in treating diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) based on preclinical evidence.
methodA computerized search was performed across multiple databases including PubMed, CBM, Web of Science, Embase, Wanfang, CNKI, the Cochrane Library, and VIP. The search period covered the period from their inception through December 2024. The search is aimed at identifying all relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using animal models of DFU. Ten studies involving 239 animals were included in the final meta-analysis. Data synthesis and statistical analysis were performed using RevMan 5.4. The risk of bias was assessed with SYRCLE's tool.
resultsThe pooled results demonstrated that stem cell-derived exosomes significantly promoted wound healing, evidenced by increased wound healing rates on Day 7 (SMD = 8.41, 95% CI: 4.06-12.75, p < 0.001; I
conclusionStem cell-derived exosomes represent a highly effective preclinical therapeutic strategy for DFU by accelerating wound closure and improving key wound healing parameters. However, the clinical translation of these findings requires further validation due to the high heterogeneity, potential publication bias, and the inherent limitations of animal studies.
