Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles promote lung adenocarcinoma growth by transferring miR-410.
Article in Cell death & disease, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 118 papers, 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
Although accumulating evidence has linked mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with tumor growth, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated for the first time that human umbilical cord MSCs (hUCMSCs) dramatically increased the growth of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cancer cells in a xenograft tumor model. Then, we observed that hUCMSC-derived extracellular vesicles (hUCMSC-EVs) contribute to the hUCMSC-promoted LUAD cell growth through a direct effect on LUAD cells. Furthermore, we showed that hUCMSC-EV-mediated LUAD growth is associated with increased proliferation and decreased apoptosis in LUAD cells, concomitant with reduced PTEN expression mediated by the hUCMSC-EV-transmitted miR-410. Our findings provide novel insights into the intercellular communications between cancer cells and MSCs through MSC-EV-miRNA and suggest that modification of hUCMSC-EVs might be an attractive therapeutic option for the clinical application of hUCMSC-EVs that would reduce unwanted side effects.
