Serum-Exosome-Derived miRNAs Serve as Promising Biomarkers for HCC Diagnosis.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
backgroundSerum exosomes are emerging as key liquid biopsy biomarkers for the early diagnosis of cancer. However, the proportion and distribution of small RNA (sRNA) species from serum exosomes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients remain unclear. Effective and reliable biomarkers for HCC diagnosis should be explored.
methodsIn this study, we aimed to use sRNA sequencing to profile the sRNAs of serum exosomes in HCC and non-tumor donors. The serum exosomes of 124 HCC patients and 46 non-tumor donors were enrolled for detecting the values of the potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of HCC.
resultsWe found that miRNAs accounted for the maximal percentage of all types of sRNAs both in the serum exosomes of HCC patients and non-tumor donors. This indicated that the serum-exosome-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) were the most valuable as potential biomarkers in HCC diagnosis. Then, miRNAs were set as research candidates. In our Chinese cohorts, three serum-exosome-derived miRNAs (miR-122-5p, let-7d-5p, and miR-425-5p) could be promising biomarkers for distinguishing HCC patients from non-tumor donors. In addition, they were preferred for the early diagnosis of HCC. We also presented the base distribution of some novel serum-exosome-derived miRNAs and described the potential values as biomarkers.
conclusionsThe results suggested that the serum-exosome-derived miRNAs were the most crucial sRNA species and they highlighted the potential of serum-exosome-derived miRNAs as promising biomarkers for HCC diagnosis.
