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 key mediators in the communication between cancer cells and their microenvironment, significantly influencing drug resistance. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the roles of EVs in promoting drug resistance through mechanisms such as drug efflux, apoptosis resistance, autophagy imbalance, and tumor microenvironment modulation. Despite extensive research, details of EVs biogenesis, cargo selection, and specific pathways in EVs-mediated drug resistance are not fully understood. This review critically examines recent advancements, highlighting key studies that elucidate the molecular mechanisms of EVs functions. Additionally, innovative therapeutic strategies targeting EVs are explored, including inhibiting EVs biogenesis, engineering EVs for drug delivery, and identifying resistance-inhibiting molecules within EVs. By integrating insights from primary research and proposing new directions for future studies, this review aims to advance the understanding of EVs in cancer biology and foster effective interventions to mitigate drug resistance in cancer therapy.
