Proteomic Alterations in Salivary Exosomes Derived from Human Papillomavirus-Driven Oropharyngeal Cancer.

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.
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
backgroundIncreasing evidence supports the notion that human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA integration onto the human genome can influence and alter the molecular cargo in the exosomes derived from head and neck cancer cells. However, the molecular cargo of salivary exosomes derived from HPV-driven oropharyngeal cancer (HPV-driven OPC) remains unelucidated. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Salivary exosomes morphology and molecular characterizations were examined using the nanoparticle tracking (NTA), western blot analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and mass spectrometry analysis.
resultsWe report that HPV16 DNA was detected (80%) in isolated salivary exosomes of HPV-driven OPC patients. Importantly, we demonstrate elevated protein levels of six main glycolytic enzymes [i.e., aldolase (ALDOA), glyceraldehye-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), lactate dehydrogenase A/B (LDHA and LDHB), phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1) and pyruvate kinase M1/2 (PKM)] in isolated salivary exosomes of HPV-driven OPC patients, suggesting a novel mechanism underlying the potential role of salivary exosomes in mediating the reciprocal interplay between glucose metabolism and HPV-driven OPC.
conclusionOur data demonstrate the potential diagnostic value of HPV16 DNA and glycolytic enzymes in salivary exosomes in discriminating healthy controls from HPV-driven OPC patients, thereby opening new avenues in the future for clinical translation studies.
