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

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are severe complications of diabetes, and treatment options for DFUs are limited. Current research on impaired angiogenesis in DFUs predominantly relies on generic endothelial cells, which inadequately reflect the pathophysiological microenvironment of the diabetic microvasculature. In contrast, this study focused specifically on human dermal microvascular endothelial cell (HDMEC) senescence as a central mechanism in DFU progression. We used a self-feeder layer 3D (SFL-3D) culture system to reprogram adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) to prepare functionally enhanced three-dimensional adipose stem cells (tdASCs) and their extracellular vesicles (tdASC-EVs) to mitigate HDMEC senescence and improve diabetic healing. Methods: EVs were isolated from SFL-3D-induced tdASCs and characterized. Results: tdASC-EVs significantly attenuated high-glucose-induced HDMEC senescence, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction while increasing tube formation. Mechanistically, tdASC-EVs activated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling, increased 4EBP1 phosphorylation, and promoted eIF4E-eIF4G assembly. In diabetic mice, tdASC-EVs accelerated wound closure and increased microvascular density, which correlated with reduced p16 expression and increased CD31 and p-4EBP1 expression. In the Bama miniature pig diabetic large animal model, tdASC-EVs exhibited markedly superior therapeutic effects compared with those induced by conventional ADSC-EVs, as evidenced by significantly faster wound closure, greater neovascularization density, narrower scar width, and more orderly collagen deposition. Conclusions: tdASC-EVs ameliorated diabetic wound healing by targeting HDMEC senescence through PI3K/AKT/mTOR/4EBP1-mediated cap-dependent translational activation. The preclinical large animal data further confirmed the superior efficacy of tdASC-EVs over ADSC-EVs, highlighting the therapeutic potential of SFL-3D-modified EVs for DFU treatment.
