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

Emerging evidence suggests that extracellular vesicle (EV)-associated microRNAs (miRNAs) are a potential diagnostic tool for liquid biopsy in various human diseases. However, the experimental procedure for the detection of EV-associated miRNAs (EV-miRNAs) from body fluids is relatively complex and not cost-effective. Due to the limited amount of EVs and EV-RNAs, a column-based RNA purification, which is an expensive approach, is often used to detect EV-miRNAs via reverse transcription-quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). Here, we developed and validated a simple and cost-effective method (single-step RT-qPCR) in which we directly detect EV-miRNAs without RNA purification from the EVs. We validated this protocol using the EVs isolated from mouse broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum. The obtained EVs were first lysed in the EV-lysis buffer, followed by RT-qPCR without isolation and purification of RNAs. We successfully detected the designated miRNAs from lysed EVs; 10
