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

Exosomes are nano-sized extracellular vesicles produced by almost all mammalian cells. They play an important role in cell-to-cell communication by transferring biologically active molecules from the cell of origin to the recipient cells. Ionizing radiation influences exosome production and molecular cargo loading. In cancer management, ionizing radiation is a form of treatment that exerts its cancer cytotoxicity by induction of DNA damage and other alterations to the targeted tissue cells. However, normal bystander non-targeted cells may exhibit the effects of ionizing radiation, a phenomenon called radiation-induced bystander effect (RIBE). The mutual communication between the two groups of cells (targeted and non-targeted) via radiation-influenced exosomes enables the exchange of radiosensitive molecules. This facilitates indirect radiation exposure, leading, among other effects, to epigenetic remodeling and subsequent adaptation to radiation. This review discusses the role exosomes play in epigenetically induced radiotherapy resistance through the mediation of RIBE.
