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

Tissue repair is a finely organized process that progresses via a series of phases, including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, which are coordinated by immune-stromal interactions. Aging profoundly dysregulates these processes through mechanisms such as immunosenescence and inflammaging, cellular senescence, chronic inflammation, and extracellular matrix alterations, ultimately contributing to typical age-related progression. This review discusses the immune mechanisms that govern physiological tissue healing, as well as the age-related perturbations that lead to ulcerative and fibrotic diseases. It also highlights the potential application of extracellular vesicles (EVs), both mammalian and plant-derived, as a stable and low-immunogenicity mediator to modulate and re-establish repair homeostasis. Translational hurdles such as EV standardization, dosing, safety assessment, and manufacturing are critically discussed to promote their use in geroscience, regenerative medicine, and dermatology.
