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

Strong evidence suggests that differences in the molecular composition of lipids in exosomes depend on the cell type and has an influence on cancer initiation and progression. Here, we analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) the lipidomic signature of exosomes derived from the human cell lines normal colon mucosa (NCM460D), and colorectal cancer (CRC) nonmetastatic (HCT116) and metastatic (SW620), and exosomes isolated from the plasma of nonmetastatic and metastatic CRC patients and healthy donors. Analysis of this exhaustive lipid study highlighted changes in some molecular species that were found in the cell lines and confirmed in the patients. For example, exosomes from primary cancer patients and nonmetastatic cells compared with healthy donors and control cells displayed a common marked increase in phosphatidylcholine (PC) 34 : 1, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) 36 : 2, sphingomyelin (SM) d18 : 1/16 : 0, hexosylceramide (HexCer) d18 : 1/24 : 0 and HexCer d18 : 1/24 : 1. Interestingly, these same lipids species were decreased in the metastatic cell line and patients. Further, levels of PE 34 : 2, PE 36 : 2, and phosphorylated PE p16 : 0/20 : 4 were also significantly decreased in metastatic conditions when compared to the nonmetastatic counterparts. The only molecule species found markedly increased in metastatic conditions (in both patients and cells) when compared to controls was ceramide (Cer) d18 : 1/24 : 1. These decreases in lipid species in the extracellular vesicles might reflect function-associated changes in the metastatic cell membrane. Although these potential biomarkers need to be validated in a larger cohort, they provide new insight toward the use of clusters of lipid biomarkers rather than a single molecule for the diagnosis of different stages of CRC.
