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

Tumour-derived fucosylated exosomes (FUC-Exo) play significant roles in cancer progression. However, the functions and mechanisms of fucosylated exosome-derived miRNAs in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain largely unknown. Using lentil lectin (LCA)-coated magnetic beads for FUC-Exo isolation, small RNA sequencing and RT-qPCR identified miR-6842-3p as a novel ESCC biomarker. In vitro and in vivo assays explored its oncogenic role and pro-angiogenic function. Dual-luciferase assays, ChIP-qPCR, western blot and rescue assays were performed to elucidate angiogenic mechanisms. miR-6842-3p is upregulated in ESCC tissues and serum FUC-Exo, significantly associated with advanced clinical stages, worse prognosis and serves as an early diagnostic biomarker for ESCC. miR-6842-3p acts as an oncogene, promoting tumour growth, metastasis and angiogenesis in ESCC. Tumour-derived fucosylated exosomal miR-6842-3p, when internalised by HUVECs, downregulates PTEN, triggering the phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR. This is followed by the inhibition of IRF1 expression, thereby downregulating CXCL10 expression and driving angiogenesis. These findings elucidate that miR-6842-3p functions as a key driver of ESCC growth, metastasis and angiogenesis. Fucosylated exosomal miR-6842-3p promotes angiogenesis by mediating the PTEN/AKT/mTOR/IRF1/CXCL10 axis, highlighting its potential as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for ESCC.
