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

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived lipid bilayer-enclosed particles that play a role in intercellular communication. Cardiac progenitor cell (CPC)-derived EVs have been shown to protect the myocardium against ischemia-reperfusion injury via pro-angiogenic effects. However, the mechanisms underlying CPC-EV-induced angiogenesis remain elusive. Here, we discovered that the ability of CPC-EVs to induce in vitro angiogenesis and to stimulate pro-survival pathways was lost upon EV donor cell exposure to calcium ionophore. Proteomic comparison of active and non-active EV preparations together with phosphoproteomic analysis of activated endothelial cells identified the contribution of candidate protein PAPP-A and the IGF-R signaling pathway in EV-mediated cell activation, which was further validated using in vitro angiogenesis assays. Upon further purification using iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation, EVs partly lost their activity, suggesting a co-stimulatory role of co-isolated proteins in recipient cell activation. Our increased understanding of the mechanisms of CPC-EV-mediated cell activation will pave the way to more efficient EV-based therapeutics.
