Extracellular vesicles-a new player in the development of urinary bladder cancer.
Review in Therapeutic advances in medical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
Bladder cancer was the 10th most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide in 2020. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized membranous structures secreted by all types of cells into the extracellular space. EVs can transport proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids to specific target cells. What brings more attention and potential implications is the fact that cancer cells secrete more EVs than non-malignant cells. EVs are widely studied for their role in cancer development. This publication summarizes the impact of EVs secreted by urinary bladder cancer cells on urinary bladder cancer development and metastasis. EVs isolated from urinary bladder cancer cells affect other lower-grade cancer cells or normal cells by inducing different metabolic pathways (transforming growth factor β/Smads pathway; phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt pathway) that promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition. The cargo carried by EVs can also induce angiogenesis, another critical element in the development of bladder cancer, and modulate the immune system response in a tumor-beneficial manner. In summary, the transfer of substances produced by tumor cells via EVs to the environment influences many stages of tumor progression. An in-depth understanding of the role EVs play in the development of urinary bladder cancer is crucial for the development of future anticancer therapies.
