Extracellular RNA communication: A decade of NIH common fund support illuminates exRNA biology.
Review in Journal of extracellular vesicles, 2025. 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
The discovery that extracellular RNAs (exRNA) can act as endocrine signalling molecules established a novel paradigm in intercellular communication. ExRNAs can be transported, both locally and systemically in virtually all body fluids. In association with an array of carrier vehicles of varying complexity, exRNA can alter target cell phenotype. This highlights the important role secreted exRNAs have in regulating human health and disease. The NIH Common Fund exRNA Communication program was established in 2012 to accelerate and catalyze progress in the exRNA biology field. The program addressed both exRNA and exRNA carriers, and served to generate foundational knowledge for the field from basic exRNA biology to future potential clinical applications as biomarkers and therapeutics. To address scientific challenges, the exRNA Communication program developed novel tools and technologies to isolate exRNA carriers and analyze their cargo. Here, we discuss the outcomes of the NIH Common Fund exRNA Communication program, as well as the evolution of exRNA as a scientific field through the analysis of scientific publications and NIH funding. ExRNA and associated carriers have potential clinical use as biomarkers, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Recent translational applications include exRNA-related technologies repurposed as novel diagnostics in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the clinical use of extracellular vesicle-based biomarker assays, and exRNA carriers as drug delivery platforms. This comprehensive landscape analysis illustrates how discoveries and innovations in exRNA biology are being translated both into the commercial market and the clinic. Analysis of program outcomes and NIH funding trends demonstrate the impact of this NIH Common Fund program.
