Tumor-Derived Exosomal miR-143-3p Induces Macrophage M2 Polarization to Cause Radiation Resistance in Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
We aimed to determine whether monitoring tumor-derived exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) could be used to assess radiotherapeutic sensitivity in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). RNA sequencing was employed to conduct a comparative analysis of miRNA expression levels during radiotherapy, focusing on identifying miRNAs associated with progression. Electron microscopy confirmed the existence of exosomes, and co-cultivation assays and immunofluorescence validated their capacity to infiltrate macrophages. To determine the mechanism by which exosomal miR-143-3p regulates the interplay between ESCC cells and M2 macrophages, ESCC cell-derived exosomes were co-cultured with macrophages. Serum miR-143-3p and miR-223-3p were elevated during radiotherapy, suggesting resistance to radiation and an unfavorable prognosis for ESCC. Increased levels of both miRNAs independently predicted shorter progression-free survival (
