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

Exosomes are produced from mammalian cells when multivesicular endosomes fuse with the plasma membrane, releasing their intralumenal vesicles. In this study we assessed the effects of MOPIPP, a novel indole-based chalcone, and vacuolin-1, a distinct triazine-based compound, on exosome production in cultured glioblastoma and 293T cells. Both compounds promote vacuolization of late endosome compartments and interfere with trafficking of late endosomes to lysosomes, without significant cytotoxicity. The results show that vacuolated cells treated with these compounds release exosomes with morphologies similar to untreated controls. However, both compounds trigger multi-fold increases in release of exosome marker proteins (e.g., CD63, Alix) in exosome fractions collected from equivalent numbers of cells. Despite the marked increase in exosome production, the profiles of selected miRNA cargoes carried by the exosomes were generally similar in cells treated with the compounds. Insofar as MOPIPP and vacuolin-1 seem able to increase the overall yield of exosomes from cultured cells, they might be useful for efforts to develop exosome-based therapeutics.
