Spotlights on extracellular vesicles in hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis and treatment: an update review.
Review in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the most prevalent cancers, with a high mortality rate worldwide, seriously impairs patient health. The lack of accurate targets impedes the early screening and diagnosis of HCC and is associated with a poor response to routine therapies. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), comprising exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic bodies, are lipid bilayer membrane-derived nanometer-sized vesicles. EVs can be secreted from various cancer cells and release diverse biomolecules, such as DNA, RNA, proteins, metabolites, and lipids, making them a potential source of biomarkers and regulators of the tumor microenvironment. Emerging evidence suggests that EVs are involved in intercellular communication by carrying biological information. These EVs elicit physiological functions and are involved in the oncogenesis of HCC, such as proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and chemoresistance of HCC. EVs have also been considered promising biomarkers and nanotherapeutic targets for HCC. Therefore, this review sheds light on the current understanding of the interactions between EVs and HCC to propose potential biomarkers and nanotherapeutic strategies.
