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

Liver disease is a major public health challenge, accounting for a substantial burden of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Currently, liver transplantation is the gold standard for treating end-stage liver diseases. However, it is affected by the shortage of organ sources and immune rejection. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be used as an alternative therapy for liver diseases, especially in cases of liver cirrhosis, liver failure and complications of liver transplantation. However, MSCs may have potential effects on tumor occurrence. MSCs derived small size vesicles are nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs) which secreted by MSCs. MSCs derived small size vesicles are characterized by a lipid bilayer membrane, which encapsulate and transport various biomolecules such as proteins and miRNAs. Compared to MSCs, MSCs derived small size vesicles showed more advantages including lower tumor occurrence and lower toxicity. It has been found that MSCs derived small size vesicles ameliorate liver diseases via regulating lipid metabolism, inhibiting apoptosis, promoting regeneration, suppressing inflammation, drug delivery and so on. Based on the important role of MSCs derived small size vesicles in liver diseases treatment, this review aims to summarize the biological processes of small size vesicles with focusing on the effect of MSCs derived small size vesicles on different liver diseases. Additionally, we also discussed the potential future directions for small size vesicles research, including the challenges to be overcome and the prospects for clinical applications. This review provides theoretical support of MSCs derived small size vesicles as a potential therapeutic agent for liver disease in humans.
