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

Background: Ovarian cancer typically presents at an advanced stage, has a poor prognosis, and is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell membrane derived nanoparticles that function in specific cell-to-cell communication and are under development as novel drug delivery vehicles and modulators of the tumor microenvironment. Artificial cell-derived vesicles (ACDVs) from M1 macrophages are able to repolarize macrophages from a M2 to a M1 phenotype and target tumor cells in Results: In this study, we generated engineered EVs (EEVs) by membrane disruption of M1 macrophages (MEVs) with and without cisplatin to generate cisplatin-loaded MEVs (C-MEVs) and empty MEVs (E-MEVs), which we tested in an ovarian cancer mouse xenograft model. E-MEVs and C-MEVs exhibited significantly less weight loss and equivalent activity to cisplatin, with improved activity over controls. Conclusions: Further development of MEVs for the treatment of ovarian cancer is warranted.
