Exosomes as therapeutic vehicles in liver diseases.
Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
The diagnosis and treatment of various liver diseases have progressed greatly over the years, but clinical outcomes are still not satisfying. New research on the mechanisms and application thereof may effectuate positive changes. Exosomes are membrane-derived nanovesicles ranging in size from 40 to 160 nm and are released by a diversity of cells. They contain a variety of cargo, including lipids, proteins, coding RNAs, and noncoding RNAs. Recent studies have recognized exosomes as intercellular communication agents, which play important roles in physiological or biological processes in acute or chronic liver disorders by horizontal transferring of genetic bioinformation from donor cells to neighboring or distal target cells. In the hope that exosomes can potentially be used as vehicles for clinical intervention, this review aims to focus on the roles of exosomes and their cargo in the field of various liver disorders, including virus-related liver diseases, alcoholic liver diseases (ALD), nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD), and liver cancer. In addition, many studies have indicated that mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes or engineered MSC-derived exosomes can also exert hepatoprotection, antioxidation, or enhance drug sensitivity on corresponding liver diseases with the advantage of low immunogenicity and high biocompatibility. Overall, exosomes are expected to serve as an important therapeutic tool for various liver diseases. However, there are still many problems that need to be resolved by further research and a greater body of evidence before exosomes are ready for clinical application.
