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

Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) and plant-derived nanoparticles (PDNPs) are emerging plant-based nanomaterials with growing relevance in biotechnology, agriculture, and health. Although often grouped together, they arise from distinct origins: PDEVs are actively secreted vesicles with selective cargo loading, whereas PDNPs form during tissue disruption and reflect the lipid-metabolite composition of plant biomass. This review summarizes recent progress in distinguishing these systems, including advances in biogenesis, isolation, biomarkers, and functional characterization. We highlight mechanistic insights into PDEV-mediated cross-kingdom RNA communication in plant immunity and the strong translational potential of PDNPs in oral drug delivery, immunomodulation, and microbiome regulation. Remaining challenges include standardization, scalable purification, and deeper mechanistic clarity. By clarifying their differences and complementary strengths, this review outlines a foundation for developing reliable plant-derived nanovesicle technologies.
