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

A model is proposed for characterizing exosome size distributions based on dynamic scaling of domain growth on the limiting membrane of multivesicular bodies in the established exosome biogenesis pathway. The scaling exponent in this model captures the asymmetry of exosome size distributions, which are notably right-skewed to larger vesicles, independent of the minimum detectable vesicle size. Analyses of exosome size distributions obtained by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy imaging and nanoparticle tracking show, respectively, that the scaling exponent is sensitive to the state of the cell source for exosomes in cell culture supernatants and can distinguish exosome size distributions in serum samples taken from cancer patients relative to those from healthy donors. Finally, we comment on mechanistic differences between our dynamic scaling model and random fragmentation models used to describe size distributions of synthetic vesicles.
