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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and challenging subtypes for treatment, due to the lack of hormone receptors and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein. The identification of new molecular targets is important for the development of targeted and specific therapies for TNBC patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising molecular targets, being involved in cellular processes such as cell survival, apoptosis, differentiation, carcinogenesis, and metastasis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained prominence in areas such as drug delivery, immune modulation, biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis, and therapeutics, due to their use as vehicles for the delivery of miRNAs, regulation of gene expression, and development of combined therapeutic strategies. In particular, mesenchymal stem cell-derived EVs (MSC-derived EVs) can transfer proteins, mRNAs/miRNAs, or DNA molecules and are being considered safer treatment options due to their inability to directly form tumors and contain lower amounts of membrane proteins such as MHC molecules. Numerous studies have highlighted the role of miRNAs in EVs in TNBC tumorigenesis, with a focus on diagnosis, prognosis, treatment selection, and monitoring. However, the development of therapies with EVs, especially MSC-derived EVs, is still in its infancy. Therefore, the aim of this review is to address new therapeutic strategies based on the delivery of miRNAs through EVs, with a focus on MSC-derived EVs, for the treatment of TNBC as an innovative therapy in oncology.
