Extracellular vesicles from triple negative breast cancer promote pro-inflammatory macrophages associated with better clinical outcome.

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
Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs), which differentiate from circulating monocytes, are pervasive across human cancers and comprise heterogeneous populations. The contribution of tumor-derived signals to TAM heterogeneity is not well understood. In particular, tumors release both soluble factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs), whose respective impact on TAM precursors may be different. Here, we show that triple negative breast cancer cells (TNBCs) release EVs and soluble molecules promoting monocyte differentiation toward distinct macrophage fates. EVs specifically promoted proinflammatory macrophages bearing an interferon response signature. The combination in TNBC EVs of surface CSF-1 promoting survival and cargoes promoting cGAS/STING or other activation pathways led to differentiation of this particular macrophage subset. Notably, macrophages expressing the EV-induced signature were found among patients’ TAMs. Furthermore, higher expression of this signature was associated with T cell infiltration and extended patient survival. Together, this data indicates that TNBC-released CSF-1-bearing EVs promote a tumor immune microenvironment associated with a better prognosis in TNBC patients.
