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

Several studies have demonstrated that exosomes have a very broad prospect in the field of cancer therapy. This study aims to identify the general characteristics, cooperation of authors, countries and explore the hot topics of the top 100 cited articles on tumor-related exosomes. We searched the Web of Science Core Collection on June 28, 2019, to collect related publications. Microsoft Excel 2016 and VOSviewer 1.6.9 were applied to analyze the publication year, citations, authors, countries, institutions, journals, and keywords. The top 100 articles were published between 1998 and 2017 with citations ranging from 181 to 2275. Cancer Research (n = 9) had the highest number of publications. Nature Cell Biology, Nature, and Nature Medicine are considered to be the core journals of tumor-related exosomes because they are among top 10 from different analytical perspectives. The USA (n = 49) and Harvard University (n = 9) were the most productive country and institution, respectively. There were active collaborations between countries. Kalluri R (n = 6) contributed the largest number of articles, and Taylor DD was the most co-cited author. Théry C and Al-Nedawi K are probably the two important experts as they are both the top 10 authors and top 10 co-cited authors. Three clusters were obtained after clustering analysis of the keywords. The main hot topics were the proteomic analysis and mechanism of vesicle activation and the role of exosomes in the diagnosis and progression of tumors. Further research should expand and develop new topics such as the role of exosomes in the treatment of cancers.
