Extracellular Vesicles as Targeted Communicators in Complementary Medical Treatments.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The supposed meridians of traditional oriental medicine have been a cause of conflict between traditional and modern medical science. A possible resolution has been proposed: That extracellular vesicles, including exosomes, may be the transmitters of traditional therapies such as massage and acupuncture. This article develops that idea by proposing that the pathways between surface and deep structures may be laid down during the embryonic migration of cells from one region of the developing body to distant regions. This hypothesis depends on the proven targeting of vesicular communication via cell surface binding molecules and their complementary binding sites on target cells. The hypothesis is therefore experimentally testable. The article also draws attention to a strong analogy with Charles Darwin's theory of pangenesis for particulate communication between the soma and germline.
