The Protective Role of Exosome-Derived MicroRNAs and Proteins from Human Breast Milk against Infectious Agents.
Article in Metabolites, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Human breast milk (HBM)-derived exosomes contain various biological and immunological components. However, comprehensive immune-related and antimicrobial factor analysis requires transcriptomic, proteomic, and multiple databases for functional analyses, and has yet to be conducted. Therefore, we isolated and confirmed HBM-derived exosomes by detecting specific markers and examining their morphology using western blot and transmission electron microscopy. Moreover, we implemented small RNA sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to investigate substances within the HBM-derived exosomes and their roles in combating pathogenic effects, identifying 208 miRNAs and 377 proteins associated with immunological pathways and diseases. Integrated omics analyses identified a connection between the exosomal substances and microbial infections. In addition, gene ontology and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses demonstrated that HBM-derived exosomal miRNA and proteins influence immune-related functions and pathogenic infections. Finally, protein-protein interaction analysis identified three primary proteins (ICAM1, TLR2, and FN1) associated with microbial infections mediating pro-inflammation, controlling infection, and facilitating microbial elimination. Our findings determine that HBM-derived exosomes modulate the immune system and could offer therapeutic strategies for regulating pathogenic microbial infection.
