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

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are nanometer-sized membranous vesicles secreted by cells, with important roles in physiological and pathological processes. Recent research has established the application of sEVs as therapeutic vehicles in various conditions, including heart disease. However, the high risk of off-target effects is a major barrier for their introduction into the clinic. This study evaluated the use of modified sEVs expressing high levels of cardiac-targeting peptide (CTP) for therapeutic small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery in myocarditis, an inflammatory disease of heart. sEVs were extracted from the cell culture medium of HEK293 cells stably expressing CTP-LAMP2b (referred to as C-sEVs). The cardiac targeting ability of C-sEVs with the highest CTP-LAMP2b expression was >2-fold greater than that of normal sEVs (N-sEVs). An siRNA targeting the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) (siRAGE) was selected as a therapeutic siRNA and loaded into C-sEVs. The efficiency of cardiac-specific siRNA delivery via C-sEVs was >2-fold higher than that via N-sEVs. Furthermore, siRAGE-loaded C-sEVs attenuated inflammation in both cell culture and an
