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

Small extracellular vesicles (EVs) have become essential mediators of intercellular and interorgan communication in vivo, with significant therapeutic potential and prognostic value in cardiovascular diseases. Despite extensive research on exosomal cargoes and their biological effects, the in vivo dynamics and systemic distribution of cardiac-derived small EVs under pathological conditions remain poorly understood. This study used cardiac small EVs-tracking mice to profile the distribution and production of cardiomyocyte-derived small EVs following myocardial infarction (MI). We observed distinct temporal dynamics in cardiac small EVs uptake between males and females. In the heart, uptake increased markedly during the acute injury phase and declined during the healing phase in males, whereas it gradually declined in females, with both sexes showing preferential uptake by endothelial cells and leukocytes. The distribution of cardiac-derived small EVs in peripheral organs gradually decreased over time in male mice but followed different patterns in females. Females exhibited higher circulating levels of cardiac-derived small EVs and a more dynamic uptake into peripheral organs than males. Meanwhile, cardiac small EVs biogenesis tended to increase on
