Revisiting Extracellular RNA Release, Processing, and Function.
Review in Trends in biochemical sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 59 papers.
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
It is assumed that RNAs enriched in extracellular samples were selected for release by their parental cells. However, recent descriptions of extracellular RNA (exRNA) biogenesis and their differential stabilities question this assumption, as they could produce identical outcomes. Here, we share our opinion about the importance of considering both selective and nonselective mechanisms for RNA release into the extracellular environment. In doing so, we provide new perspectives on RNA-mediated intercellular communication, including an analogy to communication through social media. We also argue that technical limitations have restricted the study of some of the most abundant exRNAs, both inside and outside extracellular vesicles (EVs). These RNAs may be better positioned to induce a response in recipient cells compared with low abundance miRNAs.
