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

Mature dendritic cells release exosomes; however, the immunological role of exosomes in dendritic cell vaccine therapy remains unclear. We examined the immunogenicity of neoantigen peptide-pulsed dendritic cell-derived exosomes (Neo-P DEX) and investigated their role in vaccine therapy. The quality of DEX derived from dendritic cell cultures was confirmed via electron microscopy, western blotting, flow cytometry, and CD63 ELISA. When DEX released from neoantigen-pulsed DCs was applied to monocytes, they showed dendritic cell-like properties such as surface antigen expression. Furthermore, monocytes receiving Neo-P DEX activated neoantigen-reactive T lymphocytes. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis showed that plasma exosomes after neoantigen-pulsed DC vaccine may contain more DEX compared to before the vaccine, suggesting that DEX released after DC vaccination may be involved in the amplification of tumor-specific immune responses by translocating to monocytes in the patient body and transforming them into antigen-presenting dendritic cells. This study suggests that dendritic cell exosomes may act as endogenous neoantigen vaccines or immune amplifiers.
