Beyond boundaries: exploring the role of extracellular vesicles in organ-specific metastasis in solid tumors.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been identified as important mediators of cancer metastasis, especially in the establishment of organ-specific metastatic niches. These membranous vesicles secreted by tumor cells release diverse bioactive cargo, including proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, thereby allowing for intercellular communication and microenvironment modulation. Recent evidence demonstrates that EVs can also contribute to the formation of pre-metastatic niches by reprogramming immune cells, modifying the stromal environment, and inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to promote metastatic colonization. In this review, we describe the molecular mechanism of organotropic metastasis orchestrated by EVs, with special emphasis on immune modulation and tumor microenvironment reprogramming. We also explore the potential of EVs as biomarkers for early detection of metastasis and as potential therapeutic targets for combating metastatic progression. Dissociating EV species and their influence on tumor dissemination will undoubtedly pave the way for implementing novel anti-cancer strategies to intercept tumor dissemination at its very early stages.
