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 are small membrane-bound structures that are released by cells and play important roles in intercellular communication garnering significant attention in scientific society recently due to their potential as diagnostic and therapeutic tools. However, separating EVs from large-volume samples remains a challenge due to their small size and low concentration. In this manuscript, we presented a novel method for separating polystyrene beads as control and extracellular vesicles from large sample volumes using bifurcated asymmetric field flow fractionation in PDMS-free microfluidic devices. Separation characteristics were evaluated using the control system of polystyrene bead mix, which offers up to 3.7X enrichment of EV-sized beads. Furthermore, in the EV-sample from bioreactor culture media, we observed a notable population distribution shift of extracellular vesicles. Herein presented novel PDMS-free microfluidic device fabrication protocol resulted in devices with reduced EV-loss compared to size-exclusion columns. This method represented an improvement over the current state of the art in terms of EV separation from large sample volumes through the use of novel field flow fractionation design.
