Analysis of small EV proteomes reveals unique functional protein networks regulated by VAP-A.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) influence cell phenotypes and functions via protein, nucleic acid and lipid cargoes. EVs are heterogeneous, due to diverse biogenesis mechanisms that remain poorly understood. Our previous study revealed that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane contact site (MCS) linker protein VAP-A drives biogenesis of a subset of RNA-enriched EVs. Here, we examine the protein content of VAP-A-regulated EVs. Using label-free proteomics, we identified down- and up-regulated proteins in sEVs purified from VAP-A knockdown (KD) colon cancer cells. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the data revealed protein classes that are differentially sorted to SEVs dependent on VAP-A. STRING protein-protein interaction network analysis of the RNA-binding protein (RBP) gene set identified several RNA functional machineries that are downregulated in VAP-A KD EVs, including ribosome, spliceosome, mRNA surveillance, and RNA transport proteins. We also observed downregulation of other functionally interacting protein networks, including cadherin-binding, unfolded protein binding, and ATP-dependent proteins.
