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) are emerging as versatile therapeutic platforms, yet the mechanisms governing their biogenesis in yeast remain incompletely understood. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a well-characterised and safe microbial chassis, naturally secretes abundant EVs and provides an attractive system for mechanistic dissection and engineering. Here, we establish S. cerevisiae as a tractable model for elucidating EV cargo loading. By combining multicopy expression of chicken interferon-λ (ChiIFN-λ) with cell wall perturbation, we achieved a tenfold increase in EV yield and efficient incorporation of ChiIFN-λ into EVs. Quantitative proteomics identified 1555 EV-associated proteins, including 501 predicted transmembrane proteins derived from multiple organelles. ChiIFN-λ overexpression and cell wall stress selectively reduced the abundance of key vesicle trafficking regulators, including SNARE, ESCRT and Rab proteins, indicating reprogramming of intracellular membrane trafficking pathways. Functional analyses further demonstrated that the SNARE proteins Sso2 and Nyv1 are enriched in the EV membrane and modulate EV size distribution and subpopulation composition. Together, these results reveal conserved protein-sorting machinery underlying yeast-derived extracellular vesicles (YDEVs) biogenesis and establish S. cerevisiae as a powerful platform for engineered EV production.
