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

Effective communication between cells is a fundamental feature of multicellular organisms, occurring through direct contact or the transfer of secreted molecules. Among these mediators, extracellular vesicles (EVs) function as biological messengers that transport bioactive molecules among cells. EVs are secreted by nearly all cell types. The interaction between tumor cells and EV components has been shown to influence various cancer-related processes, including proliferation, metastasis, stemness, chemoresistance, and immune modulation. Among the bioactive cargos of EVs, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), particularly microRNAs (miRNAs), play a significant role in shaping the tumor microenvironment. These EV-derived ncRNAs have emerged as promising tools for non-invasive diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic intervention across multiple cancer types. This review summarizes the current understanding of the functional roles of EV-derived miRNAs in cancer and highlights their potential clinical applications as novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets in cancer management.
