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

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) constitute a critical component of the tumor microenvironment (TME). CAFs can be reprogrammed by cancer cells, leading to the production of extracellular vesicles (EVs). These EVs serve as carriers for bioactive substances, including proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolic products, thereby facilitating tumor progression. CAF-derived EVs exert substantial influence on tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis, the immunological environment, and the processes of lymphangiogenesis and angiogenesis. Despite their potential as non-invasive biomarkers and therapeutic delivery vehicles, the clinical application of CAF-derived EVs is currently limited by challenges in purification and precise targeting. This review delineates the diverse roles of CAF-derived EVs in tumor growth, metastasis, and immune evasion within the TME.
