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

Exosomes are actively produced extracellular vesicles, released from different cell types, that exert important regulatory roles in vital cellular functions. Tumor-derived exosomes (TDEs) have received increasing attention because they enable intercellular communication between the neoplastic and non-neoplastic cells present in the microenvironment of tumors, affecting important functions of different types of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with the ability to self-renew and differentiate. MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-exos) carry a variety of bioactive molecules that can interact with specific cellular targets and signaling pathways, influencing critical processes in tumor biology, and exhibiting properties that either promote or inhibit tumor progression. They can regulate the tumor microenvironment by modulating immune responses, enhancing or suppressing angiogenesis, and facilitating tumor cells' communication with distant sites, thus altering the behavior of non-cancerous cells present in the microenvironment. Herein, we explore the main functions of TDEs and their intricate interactions with MSC-exos, in terms of enhancing cancer progression, as well as their promising clinical applications as tumor microenvironment modulators.
