Review in Pharmaceutical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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 extracellular vesicles secreted by cells with a particle size of 30-150 nm in diameter. Exosomes can be used as natural drug carriers. The treatment of cancer with drug-loaded exosomes is an area of high interest. This review introduces the composition, function, isolation and characterization of exosomes, and briefly describes the selection of exosome donor cells and methods for drug loading. Through studies on therapies with drug-loaded exosomes in gastric cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer and other cancers, the advantages and disadvantages of drug-loaded exosomes have been analyzed.
