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

The therapeutic efficacy of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), multipotent progenitor cells, is attributed to small (50-200 nm) extracellular vesicles (EVs). The presence of a lipid membrane differentiates exosomes and EVs from other macromolecules. Analysis of this lipid membrane revealed three distinct small MSC EV subtypes, each with a differential affinity for cholera toxin B chain (CTB), annexin V (AV), and Shiga toxin B chain (ST) that bind GM1 ganglioside, phosphatidylserine, and globotriaosylceramide, respectively. Similar EV subtypes are also found in biologic fluids and are independent sources of disease biomarkers. Here, we compare and contrast these three EV subtypes. All subtypes carry β-actin, but only CTB-binding EVs (CTB-EVs) are true exosomes, enriched with exosome proteins and derived from endosomes. No unique protein has been identified yet in AV-binding EVs (AV-EVs); ST-binding EVs (ST-EVs) carry RNA and a high level of extra domain A-containing fibronectin. Based on the CTB, AV, and ST subcellular binding sites, the origins of CTB-, AV-, and ST-EV biogenesis are the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus, respectively. The differentiation of EV subtypes through membrane lipids underlies the importance of membrane lipids in defining EVs and implies an influence on EV biology and functions.
