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

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent form of liver malignancy, and curing it is very challenging. Restoring tumor suppressor microRNAs could trigger the initiation of cellular anticancer mechanisms. Exosomes are nanosized biocarriers capable of fusing with cell membranes and delivering their cargo. The main goal of the current study was to explore the potential of human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293) cell-derived exosomes to provide an anticancer therapy based on the restoration of tumor suppressor miR-365a downregulated in HepG2 cells. To accomplish this aim, exosomes were isolated from the HEK293 cell line culture and characterized, enriched by Homo sapiens (hsa) miR-365a-3p mimics. Exosomes enabled an efficient loading and intracellular delivery of hsa-miR-365a mimics, which translated into G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, induction of oxidative stress, reduction of migration capacity, and high apoptosis rate. The findings indicate that the delivery of miR-365a-3p by HEK293-derived exosomes may act as an innovative and effective therapeutic strategy against HCC.
