Melanoma cell line-derived exosomal miR-424-5p: a key promoter of angiogenesis through LATS2 interaction.

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
Objectives: Melanoma is a highly aggressive and metastatic form of cancer, and the role of exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) in its progression remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the effects of melanoma cell-derived exosomal miR-424-5p on angiogenesis and its underlying mechanisms. Methods: Exosomes were isolated from melanoma cell lines A375 and A2058, and their effects on the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were examined. The interaction between miR-424-5p and its target gene, large tumor suppressor kinase 2 (LATS2), was analyzed using luciferase reporter assays and functional experiments. Results: Melanoma cell-derived exosomes could be internalized by HUVECs, which promoted proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. miR-424-5p was highly expressed in melanoma cells and their exosomes, and its inhibition in exosomes suppressed HUVEC proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. LATS2 was identified as a direct target of miR-424-5p, and its silencing reversed the inhibitory effects of miR-424-5p inhibition on HUVEC functions. Conclusions: Melanoma cell-derived exosomal miR-424-5p promotes angiogenesis by targeting LATS2, contributing to melanoma progression. Targeting the exosomal miR-424-5p/LATS2 axis could be a potential therapeutic strategy for melanoma.
