Lipid nanoparticles and extracellular vesicles: emerging cell free therapeutic platforms for hepatobiliary cancers.
Review in Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Hepatobiliary cancers are major contributors to cancer-related mortality, mainly due to late-stage diagnosis, poor prognosis, and limited effectiveness of current treatments in advanced disease. Standard therapies comprise surgical resection, liver transplantation, and systemic agents including tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors, but their efficacy is often hindered by the development of drug resistance, underlying the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have emerged as promising delivery vehicles due to their favorable physicochemical properties, enabling the transport of natural biomolecules or engineered drugs for targeted tumor therapy. LNPs are also being explored as platforms for cancer therapy and vaccines. Moreover, recent advances underscore the key role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in modulating the tumor microenvironment, promoting tumor progression, chemoresistance, and escape from immune recognition and destruction (immune evasion) in hepatobiliary cancers. EVs are being investigated both as biomarkers for early detection and as therapeutic agents, with engineered or drug-loaded EVs showing potential for targeted drug delivery and tissue repair in liver diseases, including cancer. This review highlights the potential of cell-free therapeutic LNP- and EV-based platforms, standalone or in combination, for RNA, small molecules and proteins delivery in improving diagnosis and treatment outcomes in hepatobiliary cancers, in particular, hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma.
