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), with their ability to precisely regulate the cellular microenvironment, have fundamentally transformed the way we explore and treat diseases in many respects. Characterizing past and ongoing clinical trials involving EVs as circulating biomarkers or therapeutic interventions for various diseases will yield valuable insights for academic research, disease surveillance, and biopharmaceutical development. Based on the ClinicalTrials.gov database, we retrospectively analyzed 355 clinical trials initiated by the end of 2025. This study provides a detailed description of these trials and discusses key considerations regarding current research priorities and future trends in this field.
