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

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most prevalent hematological malignancy. In spite of the remarkable progress in understanding the biology and therapy of MM, curing this disease remains difficult, which calls for more effective treatment strategies. As vital communicators between different cells, exosomes have been verified to be crucial to cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Exosomes in MM patients show a different expression profile compared with those in healthy individuals. In this review, we summarize potential therapy roles exosomes may play in MM. The specific expression of certain components in exosomes may provide therapeutic targets. Moreover, tumor-derived exosomes and their modified products can be developed into vaccines for anti-tumor immunity. In addition, the natural nano structure of exosomes makes them excellent carriers for drug delivery. Thus, a more rigorous investigation into exosomes will pave the way for novel tumor therapies in MM patients.
