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

This narrative review summarizes research progress on plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) for nanomedicine in cardiopulmonary system diseases, based on key literature covering isolation, engineering, and disease mechanisms. PEVs possess high biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, broad source availability, and scalability. Their bioactive cargo (proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, secondary metabolites) regulates inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and fibrosis. This review systematically discusses PEV characteristics, large-scale isolation, and engineering approaches, with a focus on multi-target and cell-specific mechanisms in atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, COPD, and pulmonary fibrosis. Although challenges in standardization, in vivo mechanisms, and translation remain, engineered PEVs hold promise as efficient and safe nanomedicines. The unique contribution of this review is to integrate PEV preparation and engineering with their disease-specific mechanisms, providing a coherent framework for future translational research in cardiopulmonary nanomedicine.
