Extracellular Vesicles as Liquid Biopsy Biomarkers across the Cancer Journey: From Early Detection to Recurrence.
Review in Clinical chemistry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
backgroundCancer is a dynamic process and thus requires highly informative and reliable biomarkers to help guide patient care. Liquid-based biopsies have emerged as a clinical tool for tracking cancer dynamics. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), lipid bilayer delimited particles secreted by cells, are a new class of liquid-based biomarkers. EVs are rich in selectively sorted biomolecule cargos, which provide a spatiotemporal fingerprint of the cell of origin, including cancer cells. CONTENT: This review summarizes the performance characteristics of EV-based biomarkers at different stages of cancer progression, from early malignancy to recurrence, while emphasizing their potential as diagnostic, prognostic, and screening biomarkers. We discuss the characteristics of effective biomarkers, consider challenges associated with the EV biomarker field, and report guidelines based on the biomarker discovery pipeline. SUMMARY: Basic science and clinical trial studies have shown the potential of EVs as precision-based biomarkers for tracking cancer status, with promising applications for diagnosing disease, predicting response to therapy, and tracking disease burden. The multi-analyte cargos of EVs enhance the performance characteristics of biomarkers. Recent technological advances in ultrasensitive detection of EVs have shown promise with high specificity and sensitivity to differentiate early-cancer cases vs healthy individuals, potentially outperforming current gold-standard imaging-based cancer diagnosis. Ultimately, clinical translation will be dictated by how these new EV biomarker-based platforms perform in larger sample cohorts. Applying ultrasensitive, scalable, and reproducible EV detection platforms with better design considerations based upon the biomarker discovery pipeline should guide the field towards clinically useful liquid biopsy biomarkers.
