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

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive and heterogeneous subtype of breast cancer characterized by the absence of the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), resulting in limited options for targeted therapy and high rates of metastasis, recurrence and death. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as central mediators of TNBC pathophysiology, functioning as key intercellular communication vehicles transporting oncogenic proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and metabolites. These EV-mediated interactions promote tumor microenvironment (TME) remodeling, immune evasion, metastatic niche formation, and therapeutic resistance. Given their stability, accessibility, and molecular complexity, EVs also represent promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for TNBC. Advances in isolation and molecular profiling technologies have enabled the identification of EV-associated signatures that predict therapeutic response and stratify patient risk. Beyond their utility as biomarkers, EVs are rapidly emerging as therapeutic targets and delivery platforms, demonstrating efficacy in transporting chemotherapeutics, RNA-based therapeutics, immune modulators, and photosensitizers with enhanced targeting specificity and therapeutic efficiency. Collectively, EVs play a multifaceted role in TNBC biology, serving simultaneously as drivers of disease progression, minimally invasive biomarkers, and versatile therapeutic vehicles. The integration of EV-centered diagnostics, multi-omic profiling, and engineered therapeutics holds significant potential to transform TNBC management and advance precision oncology for this challenging breast cancer subtype.
