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

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold great potential as a therapeutic delivery system for cancer treatment. Here, we develop an innovative targeted drug delivery platform, human leukocyte antigen-G-VHH antibody-modified EV (α-HLA-G-EV), to enhance therapeutic efficacy. A genetically engineered HEK293T stable clone is utilized to produce α-HLA-G-EV, which are subsequently loaded with chemotherapeutic agents to create HLA-G-targeting drug-loaded EVs (drug@α-HLA-G-EV). The cytotoxicity of drug@α-HLA-G-EV is assessed in various cancer cell lines, demonstrating superior tumor targeting and therapeutic efficacy compared to standard chemotherapies. In vivo experiments using xenograft NPG mouse models, established with MDA-MB-231 and U87 cell lines, further confirm the enhanced antitumor activity of Doxorubicin@α-HLA-G-EV and Temozolomide@α-HLA-G-EV. These findings are consistent with results observed in patient-derived breast cancer and GBM cell models. Additionally, drug@α-HLA-G-EV causes far less damage to normal organs than Lipo-Dox. These findings highlight the potential of α-HLA-G-EV as a versatile platform for precise and efficient cancer treatment.
