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

Emerging evidence highlights extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, as critical molecular messengers linking pediatric obesity to multi-organ complications. This scoping review synthesizes current knowledge on EVs-mediated intercellular communication that exacerbates inflammation, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction and organ-specific damage. Data demonstrate that adipose- and endothelial-derived EVs carry bioactive cargo, microRNAs, proteins, and lipids, that modulate key pathways driving metabolic derangements and vascular injury, often preceding detectable clinical biomarkers. Notably, maternal obesity influences EVs composition in breast milk, shaping early-life metabolic programming and offspring risk of obesity. Recent studies underscore the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of EVs in obesity-related conditions such as metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), early renal injury, and cardiovascular dysfunction in children. Furthermore, EVs released in response to exercise or bariatric surgery may mediate systemic metabolic improvements, offering a novel window into personalized interventions. Despite promising findings, standardization of EV isolation and profiling in pediatric research is lacking, and large-scale longitudinal studies are urgently needed. By deepening our understanding of EVs biology, clinicians may advance early detection, risk stratification, and targeted therapies to interrupt the progression from childhood obesity to lifelong metabolic and cardiovascular disease.
