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) facilitate the transfer of biological materials between cells throughout the body. Mitochondria, membrane-bound organelles present in the cytoplasm of nearly all eukaryotic cells, are vital for energy production and cellular homeostasis. Recent studies highlight the critical role of the transport of diverse mitochondrial content, such as mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA), mitochondrial RNA (mt-RNA), mitochondrial proteins (mt-Prots), and intact mitochondria by small EVs (<200 nm) and large EVs (>200 nm) to recipient cells, where these cargos contribute to cellular and mitochondrial homeostasis. The interplay between EVs and mitochondrial components has significant implications for health, metabolic regulation, and potential as biomarkers. Despite advancements, the mechanisms governing EV-mitochondria crosstalk and the regulatory effect of mitochondrial EVs remain poorly understood. This review explores the roles of EVs and their mitochondrial cargos in health and disease, examines potential mechanisms underlying their interactions, and emphasizes the therapeutic potential of EVs for neurological and systemic conditions associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.
