Plasma Extracellular Vesicle Characteristics as Biomarkers of Resectability and Radicality of Surgical Resection in Pancreatic Cancer-A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Due to possible diagnostic misjudgment of tumor resectability, patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) might be exposed to non-radical resection or unnecessary laparotomy. With small extracellular vesicles (sEV) obtained by liquid biopsy, we aimed to evaluate their potential as biomarkers of tumor resectability, radicality of resection and overall survival (OS). Our prospective study included 83 PDAC patients undergoing surgery with curative intent followed-up longitudinally. sEV were isolated from plasma, and their concentration and size were determined. Fifty patients underwent PDAC resection, and thirty-three had no resection. Preoperatively, patients undergoing resection had higher sEV concentrations than those without resection (
