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

Clinical oncology needs reliable tumor biomarkers to allow a follow-up of tumor patients who do not necessarily need invasive approaches. To date, the existing biomarkers are not sufficiently reliable, and many of them have generated more problems than facilitating the commitment of clinical oncologists. Over the last decades, a broad family of extracellular vesicles, with size ranging between micro to nano, has been raised as a new hope for potential sources of new tumor biomarkers. However, while knowledge in the field is increasing, we do not currently have definitive information allowing a clinical use of extracellular vesicles in cancer clinics. Recent evidence provides new perspective in clinical oncology, based on data showing that circulating nanovesicles called exosomes may represent a valuable source of tumor biomarkers. In this review, we discuss the existing clinical data supporting a key role of exosomes as a source of tumor biomarkers, including proteins and miRNAs, but also discuss the importance of the expression of known tumor biomarkers when expressed on exosomes.
