The Pre-metastatic Niche: How Cancer Stem Cell-Derived Exosomal MicroRNA Fit into the Puzzle.
Review in Stem cell reviews and reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cancer metastasis is a complicated biological process that critically affects cancer progression, patient outcomes, and treatment plans. A significant step in metastasis is the formation of a pre-metastatic niche (PMN). A small subset of cells within tumors, known as cancer stem cells (CSCs), possess unique characteristics including, differentiation into different cell types within the tumor, self-renewal, and resistance to conventional therapies, that enable them to initiate tumors and drive metastasis. PMN plays an important role in preparing secondary organs for the arrival and proliferation of CSCs, thereby facilitating metastasis. CSC-derived exosomes are crucial components in the complex interplay between CSCs and the tumor microenvironment. These exosomes function as transporters of various substances that can promote cancer progression, metastasis, and modulation of pre-metastatic environments by delivering microRNA (miRNA, miR) cargo. This review aims to illustrate how exosomal miRNAs (exo-miRs) secreted by CSCs can predispose PMN and promote angiogenesis and metastasis.
