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

objectiveThis review summarizes the biological characteristics of mast cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their roles in lung diseases involving mast cell activation and immune dysregulation, focusing on asthma, neonatal lung injury, and lung adenocarcinoma. MATERIAL: Published studies involving mast cell lines, animal models, and patient-derived biospecimens on mast cell-derived EVs in pulmonary inflammation were summarized. TREATMENT: Not applicable.

methodsWe synthesized evidence on EV biogenesis, cargo composition, target-cell interactions, immunomodulatory functions, and disease-specific roles.

resultsMast cells are key effector cells in pulmonary inflammation whose functions extend beyond classical degranulation. They communicate with epithelial, stromal, and immune cells via EVs carrying proteins, lipids, mRNAs, and microRNAs. These vesicles modify recipient-cell function and mediate inflammatory amplification, epithelial injury, airway remodeling, and immune-cell activation. Mast cell-derived EVs exert disease- and context-dependent effects by regulating epithelial-immune crosstalk, type 2 inflammation, tissue remodeling, and tumor microenvironmental interactions.

conclusionsMast cell-derived EVs are key mediators of intercellular communication in pulmonary inflammation. However, most evidence comes from cell and animal models, and the clinical relevance of specific EV cargoes remains unclear. Further studies are needed to clarify their disease-specific mechanisms and evaluate their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
