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

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a population of particles naturally released by cells to transport biological messages, including nucleic acids. Thus, EVs represent an ideal vehicle to deliver therapeutic miRNAs. The current challenge is the development of efficient protocols to load EVs with exogenous miRNAs. Human plasma is an abundant source of EVs which can be manipulated for therapeutic applications. Despite numerous techniques are currently available to load EVs, all of them present issues which limit their clinical application. Among all, electroporation was shown to be superior to other protocols and to efficiently load plasma-derived EVs with miRNAs. However, also the electroporation procedure presents issues that can reduce the miRNA delivery. In this chapter, we describe a protocol to isolate EVs from human plasma, to load synthetic miRNA mimics using electroporation, to evaluate EV integrity and miRNA loading into EVs. Finally, the analysis of EV functionality allows to investigate the ability of engineered EVs to transfer the miRNAs to target cells and to exploit their biological effects.
