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

Cancer can be described as a dynamic disease formed by malignant and stromal cells. The cellular interaction between these components in the tumor microenvironment (TME) dictates the development of the disease and can be mediated by extracellular vesicles secreted by tumor cells (TEVs). In this review, we summarize emerging findings about how TEVs modify important aspects of the disease like continuous tumor growth, induction of angiogenesis and metastasis establishment. We also discuss how these nanostructures can educate the immune infiltrating cells to generate an immunosuppressive environment that favors tumor progression. Furthermore, we offer our perspective on the path TEVs interfere in cancer treatment response and promote tumor recurrence, highlighting the need to understand the underlying mechanisms controlling TEVs secretion and cargo sorting. In addition, we discuss the clinical potential of TEVs as markers of cell state transitions including the acquisition of a treatment-resistant phenotype, and their potential as therapeutic targets for interventions such as the use of extracellular vesicle (EV) inhibitors to block their pro-tumoral activities. Some of the technical challenges for TEVs research and clinical use are also presented.
