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

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are crucial mediators of intercellular communication, which facilitate the transfer of bioactive molecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Their high biocompatibility and intrinsic targeting abilities make them promising candidates for therapeutics, drug delivery, and disease biomarkers. In liver diseases, EVs are essential in liver regeneration, fibrosis modulation, and ischemia-reperfusion injury repair, and EV-derived biomarkers have shown potential for non-invasive disease monitoring, particularly in hepatitis B virus infection, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma. This review provides a comprehensive overview of EV biology, cellular sources, isolation techniques, and strategies to enhance their therapeutic potential. Furthermore, we discuss the role of EVs in liver regeneration and their clinical application in biomarker discovery. Despite significant advancements in EV-based therapies, challenges such as scalability, standardization, immunogenicity, and regulatory approval remain key hurdles for clinical translation. Future research should focus on optimizing EV bioengineering, refining isolation methods, and addressing regulatory concerns to facilitate successful application of EVs in liver disease management and precision medicine.
