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) play significant roles in cancer progression through mediating inter/intra cellular communications within tumor microenvironment (TME). EVs are used as non-invasive diagnostic tools, drug delivery systems, and cancer vaccines, considering the anti-tumor potential, safety, biocompatibility and physiochemical stability of endogenous EVs. Modification of immune cells, either genetically or epigenetically, is a growing field of cancer research with the goal of enhancing efficacy of immunotherapy. This review focuses on the possibility of manipulating immune cells including dendritic cells (DCs), natural killer (NK) cells and T cells to secrete EVs that exert immune function either by activating immune responses or altering immune cell behavior to enhance anti-tumor efficacy, and discusses potential obstacles and recommendations for improved functionality of this therapeutic method.
