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

objectivesExosomes are essential mediators of intercellular communication as they transport proteins and RNAs between cells. Owing to their tumor-targeting capacity, immune compatibility, low toxicity, and long half-life, mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes have great potential for the development of novel antitumor strategies. In this context, the role of exosomes produced by adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) for the treatment of bladder cancer (BC) remains unclear. Here, we investigated the use of ADSCs as a source of therapeutic exosomes, as well as their efficacy in delivering the tumor suppressor miR-138-5p in BC.

methodsADSCs stably expressing miR-138-5p were established using Lentivirus infection, and ADSC-derived miR-138-5p exosomes (Exo-miR-138-5p) were isolated from the cell culture medium. The effect of Exo-miR-138-5p on BC cell migration, invasion, and proliferation was evaluated in vitro using wound healing, transwell invasion, and proliferation assays. The in vivo effect of Exo-miR-138-5p was investigated using a subcutaneous xenograft mouse model.

resultsExo-miR-138-5p prevented the migration, invasion, and proliferation of BC cells in vitro. Moreover, ADSC-derived exosomes could penetrate tumor tissues and successfully deliver miR-138-5p to suppress the growth of xenograft tumors in vivo.

conclusionsThe present results reveal that ADSC-derived exosomes are an effective delivery vehicle for small molecule drugs in vivo, and exosome-delivered miR-138-5p is a promising therapeutic agent for BC treatment.
