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 a heterogenous group of lipid bilayer bound particles naturally released by cells. These vesicles are classified based on their biogenesis pathway and diameter. The overlap in size of exosomes generated from the exosomal pathway and macrovesicles that are pinched off from the surface of the plasma membrane makes it challenging to isolate pure populations. Hence, isolated vesicles that are less than 200 nm are called small extracellular vesicles (sEVs). Extracellular vesicles transport a variety of cargo molecules, and multiple mechanisms govern the packaging of cargo into sEVs. Here, we discuss the current understanding of how miRNAs are targeted into sEVs, including the role of RNA binding proteins and EXOmotif sequences present in miRNAs in sEV loading. Several studies in human pain disorders and rodent models of pain have reported alterations in sEV cargo, including miRNAs. The sorting mechanisms and target regulation of miR-939, a miRNA altered in individuals with complex regional pain syndrome, is discussed in the context of inflammation. We also provide a broad overview of the therapeutic strategies being pursued to utilize sEVs in the clinic and the work needed to further our understanding of EVs to successfully deploy sEVs as a pain therapeutic.
