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

Microbial extracellular vesicles (mEVs) are emerging as key mediators at the host-microbe interface in the lung, playing a remarkable dual role as both pathogenic drivers and therapeutic modulators. These nano-sized, membrane-bound structures (20-400 nm) secreted by bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms carry diverse bioactive cargo including lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids that can profoundly influence host immune responses and tissue homeostasis. mEVs derived from probiotic bacteria demonstrate significant therapeutic potential as immunomodulatory agents capable of reducing pulmonary inflammation and enhancing epithelial barrier function. These probiotic-derived vesicles represent a novel class of postbiotics - bioactive microbial products that confer health benefits without requiring live microbial cells. Conversely, in pathogenic contexts, mEVs from bacteria such as
