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

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are produced by all living cells and are present in all body fluids. EVs are heterogeneous in size, biogenesis, molecular/genetic content and functions. They constitute a part of the intercellular communication system. Among them, a subset of small EVs (sEVs) (30-150 nm) originating in the tumor cell endosomes and often referred to as "tumor cell-derived exosomes" have been of special interest. Tumors have adapted sEV they produce to promoting their own survival. Plasma of patients with cancer contains variably elevated numbers of tumor-derived sEV called "TEX," which differ from circulating sEV produced by non-malignant cells by the immunosuppressive phenotype and the molecular/genetic content. Immunosuppressive molecular profiles and abilities to signal, enter and functionally reprogram a variety of recipient cells enable TEX to exert pro-tumor effects that promote tumor resistance to immunotherapy. This review describes phenotypic and functional attributes of TEX that underline their reprogramming capabilities. It also considers mechanisms responsible for TEX pro-tumor activities and the potential significance of TEX signaling for responses of patients with cancer to immune therapies.
