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) play a key role in cell-cell communication and thus have great potential to be utilized as therapeutic agents and diagnostic tools. In this study, we implemented single-molecule microscopy techniques as a toolbox for a comprehensive characterization as well as measurement of the cellular uptake of HEK293T cell-derived EVs (eGFP-labeled) in HeLa cells. A combination of fluorescence and atomic force microscopy revealed a fraction of 68% fluorescently labeled EVs with an average size of ∼45 nm. Two-color single-molecule fluorescence microscopy analysis elucidated the 3D dynamics of EVs entering HeLa cells. 3D colocalization analysis of two-color direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM) images revealed that 25% of EVs that experienced uptake colocalized with transferrin, which has been linked to early recycling of endosomes and clathrin-mediated endocytosis. The localization analysis was combined with stepwise photobleaching, providing a comparison of protein aggregation outside and inside the cells.
