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

Exosomes are small membrane vesicles that measure 20 to 100 nm in diameter and are released by many cell types, including lymphocytes, dendritic cells (DCs) and tumor cells. As efficient messengers in cell-to-cell communication, exosomes released by tumors play an important role in regulating tumor malignancy. Tumor-derived exosomes contain proteins, mRNAs, and miRNAs, which can be delivered between different types of cells and even transferred to distant locations to influence the biological activities of tumors, such as proliferation, invasion and metastasis, immunoregulation, generation of a premetastatic niche and stimulation of angiogenesis. This review highlights advances in the understanding of exosome secretion and the role of exosomes in cancer molecular behavior. Moreover, we also discuss the potential clinical application of exosomes as biomarkers and therapeutic tools. Tumor-derived exosomes may represent a target for therapeutic intervention and for the development of early diagnostic biomarkers.
