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

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers represent a significant global health burden, accounting for over one-third of cancer-related deaths globally. Regardless of advancements in treatment procedures, the high mortality rate underscores the crucial need for novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic strategies. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) appeared as fundamental facilitators of intercellular interaction, influencing gene expression as well as cellular function through the transfer of nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids. EVs play dual roles in maintaining intestinal homeostasis under physiological conditions and driving tumorigenesis in pathological states. In GI cancers, EVs contribute to tumor progression by modulating the tumor microenvironment (TME), promoting angiogenesis, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), immune evasion, and metastasis. Moreover, EVs portray a vital role in creating pre-metastatic site, reprogramming immune cells, and facilitating therapeutic resistance through the transfer of resistance-associated molecules. The clinical potential of EVs extends to their utility as liquid biopsy biomarkers, offering a non-invasive approach for early diagnosis, prognostication, and treatment monitoring. EV-miRNAs and EV-long non-coding RNAs demonstrate significant diagnostic and prognostic value in GI cancers. This review provides a widespread impression of the biogenesis, molecular properties, and functional roles of EVs in GI cancers, with a focus on their clinical utility.
