Extracellular Vesicles and Their Mimetics: A Comparative Study of Their Pharmacological Activities and Immunogenicity Profiles.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are miniaturised carriers loaded with functional proteins, lipids, and nucleic acid material, are naturally secreted by cells and show intrinsic pharmacological effects in several conditions. As such, they have the potential to be used for the treatment of various human diseases. However, the low isolation yield and laborious purification process are obstacles to their translation for clinical use. To overcome this problem, our lab developed cell-derived nanovesicles (CDNs), which are EV mimetics produced by shearing cells through membrane-fitted spin cups. To evaluate the similarities between EVs and CDNs, we compare the physical properties and biochemical composition of monocytic U937 EVs and U937 CDNs. Besides having similar hydrodynamic diameters, the produced CDNs had proteomic, lipidomic, and miRNA profiles with key communalities compared to those of natural EVs. Further characterisation was conducted to examine if CDNs could exhibit similar pharmacological activities and immunogenicity when administered in vivo. Consistently, CDNs and EVs modulated inflammation and displayed antioxidant activities. EVs and CDNs both did not exert immunogenicity when administered in vivo. Overall, CDNs could serve as a scalable and efficient alternative to EVs for further translation into clinical use.
