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

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening disease. Although AAA is generally asymptomatic, the mortality rate remains very high once rupture occurs, even with successful treatment. The pathophysiology of AAA involves inflammatory cell infiltration, smooth muscle cell apoptosis, and extracellular matrix degradation. However, there are various unclear aspects of pathophysiology due to cellular heterogeneity and multifactorial disease. Moreover, there are no blood biomarkers or available pharmacological drugs for AAA. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer particles released from every type of cell for intercellular communication. EVs include proteins, DNA, RNA (mRNA, microRNA), and lipids. EV cargos are delivered to recipient cells and modulate their biological effects. Although fewer studies have investigated EVs in AAA than in other cardiovascular diseases with similar molecular mechanisms, recent research indicates that EVs play a significant role in AAA development. Further research on EVs and AAA will contribute to the elucidation of AAA pathophysiology and the development of novel pharmacological drugs. In this review, we summarize the EV-associated pathophysiology, EV-based biomarkers, and EV-based treatment strategies in AAA. We also discuss the prospects for EVs research in AAA.
