Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Breast Cancer Cells: Emerging Biomarkers of Tumor Progression and Metastasis.
Review in Biomolecules, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Breast cancer (BC) remains one of the most prevalent and life-threatening malignancies worldwide, marked by significant heterogeneity and complex mechanisms of progression. Despite major advances in understanding its molecular and cellular basis, the processes driving tumor progression and metastasis continue to challenge effective treatment. Among the emerging research areas, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained considerable attention for their key role in intercellular communication and their contribution to cancer biology. In BC, tumor cell-derived EVs are implicated in multiple processes that promote disease progression, including tumor growth, remodeling of the tumor microenvironment, and facilitation of metastasis. By transferring oncogenic signals to recipient cells, EVs critically shape the metastatic niche and support the spread of cancer cells to distant organs. Recent studies highlight the diverse functions of BC-derived EVs in modulating immune responses, inducing angiogenesis, and enhancing cancer cell invasiveness. This review explores the role of BC-derived EVs in tumor progression and metastasis. We discuss their molecular composition, mechanisms of action, and impact on the tumor microenvironment, aiming to provide insights into their role in BC pathophysiology and discuss potential clinical applications. A deeper understanding of the complex interplay between EVs and cancer progression may pave the way for innovative strategies to combat BC and improve patient outcomes.
