Extracellular vesicle-mediated chemoresistance in breast cancer: focus on miRNA cargo.
Review in Extracellular vesicles and circulating nucleic acids, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
The role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in mediating chemoresistance has gained significant attention due to their ability to transfer bioactive molecules between drug-resistant and drug-sensitive cells. In particular, they have been demonstrated to play an active part in breast cancer chemoresistance by the horizontal transfer of genetic and protein material. This review highlights the role of EVs, particularly their miRNA cargo, in driving drug resistance in breast cancer. EVs derived from chemoresistant cells carry miRNAs and lncRNAs, which are known to modulate gene networks involved in cell proliferation and survival. These cargo molecules suppress apoptosis by targeting pro-apoptotic genes like PTEN and BIM, promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through the regulation of pathways such as TGF-β and Wnt/b-catenin, and contribute to tumor growth and resistance by enhancing angiogenesis and modulating the tumor microenvironment. Beyond RNA-mediated effects, EVs also transfer functional proteins, including P-glycoprotein and Hsp70, which impact cellular metabolism and survival pathways. Our findings underscore the significance of EVs in breast cancer chemoresistance, suggesting their potential involvement as possible prognostic factors to predict therapy response and as therapeutic targets in combination with usual therapy.
