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

backgroundTumor-derived exosomes are gaining attention as important factors that facilitate communication between neighboring cells and manipulate cellular processes associated with cancer development or progression. The conventional techniques for the isolation and detection of exosomes face several limitations, restricting their clinical applications. Hence, a highly efficient technique for the isolation and identification of exosomes from biological samples may provide critical information about exosomes as biomarkers and improve our understanding of their unique role in cancer research. Here, we describe the use of antibody cocktail-conjugated magnetic nanowires to isolate exosomes from plasma of breast and lung cancer patients.

methodsThe isolated exosomes were characterized based on size and concentration using nanoparticle tracking analysis. Levels of exosomal proteins were measured by bicinchoninic acid assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Morphology was visualized by transmission electron microscopy. Immunoblotting (Western blotting) was used to detect the presence of exosomal markers.

resultsThe use of antibody cocktail-conjugated magnetic nanowires resulted in approximately threefold greater yield when compared to the conventional methods. The elongated feature of nanowires significantly improved the efficiency of exosome isolation, suggesting its potential to be translated in diverse clinical applications, including cancer diagnosis and treatment.

conclusionsThe nanowire-based method allows rapid isolation of homogeneous population of exosomes with relatively high yield and purity from even small amounts of sample. These results suggest that this method has the potential for clinical applications requiring highly purified exosomes for the analysis of protein, lipid, mRNA, and miRNA.
