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
Endometriosis (EMs) is a disease that adversely affects women's health. Immune imbalance is an important factor contributing to EMs, and exosomes (Exo) play an important role in immunomodulation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of exosomes derived from the blood of patients with EMs on macrophage polarization and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Exosomes were isolated from the serum of healthy controls (control exosomes) and patients with EMs (EMs exosomes). Macrophage polarization levels were detected using flow cytometry (FCM), RT-qPCR, and Western blot. Subsequently, we used RNA sequencing to analyze differential microRNAs (miRNA) and associated pathways. Electroporation techniques were used to modify the exosomes. The associated pathways were analyzed by Western blot. Finally, 12Z cells were co-cultured with macrophages of different polarizations, and the viability and metastasis of 12Z cells were calculated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), scratch, and Transwell. EMs exosomes induced M2-type polarization in macrophages. RNA sequencing results showed that miR-196a-5p was dramatically decreased in EMs exosomes, whereas overexpression of miR-196a-5p in EMs exosomes could inhibit the M2-type polarization of macrophages and activate the Hippo pathway. In addition, M2-type macrophages promoted 12Z cell proliferation and metastasis. These findings suggest that serum-derived exosomes encapsulating miR-196a-5p alleviate endometriosis by promoting M1-type macrophage polarization via Hippo pathway activation.
